A 16‐year‐old adolescent presented with dry cough, fever, weight loss, night sweats, exercise intolerance, and eosinophilia. Computed tomography showed consolidations with “reverse butterfly” pattern. He responded well to corticosteroids but had frequent relapses. He became steroid dependent and developed steroid related morbidity. Benralizumab was prescribed with complete resolution of eosinophilia and lung infiltrates with no adverse effect.
