Pulmonary hypersensitivity in a 36-year-old man manifested by fever, abnormal lung auscultation, lung infiltrates and blood eosinophilia had to be ascribed to glafenine, a widely used analgesic drug. The observation was confirmed by reappearance of symptoms and biochemical abnormalities on rechallenge with glafenine.
