A 42-year-old man with 3-month history of chronic dry cough and bloody phlegm was presented to our respiratory outpatient department. He had no previous significant medical history. He also denied family history of tuberculosis. His-vital signs and physical findings were no notable abnormalities. Three months before the onset of respiratory symptoms, he had eaten raw deer meat in Japan. Laboratory findings revealed a white blood cell count of 7.57 × 103/μL with 9.3% eosinophils. There were no obvious abnormalities in other laboratory examinations, such as tumor markers, liver function, or renal function.
