Eosinophiluria (>5% of urine leukocytes ) is a common finding (~90%) in antibiotic induced allergic nephritis ,however lymphocytes predominate in allergic interstitial nephritis induced by NSAIDs. eosinophiluria is a feature of atheroembolic ARF. In PAN,microscopic polyangitis ,eosinophiluria is rare.
