on the basis of the existence of progressively deteriorating pictures whose aetiopathogenesis is still uncertain but which is certainly immunological and inflammatory in character given the involvement of eosinophils , the presence of characteristic radiological pictures and the response to steroid treatment , it is therefore agreed that these various pathological conditions constitute a single disease whose more benign extreme is represented by the reported case of recurring eosinophilic pneumonia , its more severe extreme by forms presenting high levels of circulating eosinophils , hypereosinophilia , a prolonged course and more marked symptoms typified by the disseminated eosinophilic collagen disease reported by dell'acqua and mori .
