A young male with complaints of cough, dyspnea and hemoptysis was admitted. He was using fluticasone propionate and salmeterol for two years for his asthma. Leukotriene receptor antagonist was prescribed two weeks prior to his admission and no reduction of his inhaled steroid therapy was performed. Eosinophil count was detected as 1460/mm³ (15%) and immunoglobulin E level was 547 IU/mL. Thorax computerized tomography revealed patchy infiltration.
