S. S. Pillai proved that for a fixed positive integer $a$, the exponential Diophantine equation $x^y-y^x= a$, $\min (x,y)>1$, has only finitely many solutions in integers $x$ and $y$. We prove that when $a$ is of the form $2z^2$, the above equation has no solution in integers $x$ and $y$ with $\gcd (x,y)=1$.
