We report a 69-year-old patient who developed fever and dyspnea 3 weeks after the initiation of daptomycin therapy for spondylodiscitis with lumbar epidural and bilateral psoas abscesses due to ampicillin- and high-level-gentamicin-resistant Enterococcus faecium. There was profound hypoxia and the chest X-ray showed extensive patchy infiltrates bilaterally. A bronchoalveolar lavage revealed 30% eosinophils and results of microbiological studies were normal. Daptomycin-induced eosinophilic pneumonia was diagnosed and the patient rapidly improved after the discontinuation of daptomycin and a brief course of prednisone. Increased attention must be paid to this rare but serious side effect of daptomycin.
