Acute eosinophilic pneumonia secondary to daptomycin: a report of three cases.
Abstract
We describe 3 cases of daptomycin-induced pulmonary toxic effects that are consistent
with drug-induced acute eosinophilic pneumonia. Patients presented similarly with
dyspnea, cough, hypoxia, and diffuse ground-glass opacities at chest computed tomography.
Clinical suspicion for this adverse drug event and cessation of daptomycin until definitive
diagnosis can be made is crucial.

During the past 8 years my research interests have changed from a focus on tick-borne
disease and endocarditis to a primary focus on healthcare-associated infections (HAIs).
Specifically, I have been interested in HAIs in community hospitals. Using prospective
data collected as part of our surveillance activities in the Duke Infection Control
Outreach Network (DICON), I and my colleagues have focused on these specific areas
of research: • The accuracy and reliability of surveil
