| Abstract |
|
Lipoid pneumonia is a chronic, interstitial, proliferative inflammation resulting from aspiration of
lipoid material; it occurs principally in debilitated infants.
Animal oils, owing to their high fatty acid content, are the most damaging.
There are no characteristic signs or symptoms; cough is most common and in severe cases there
may be dyspnea.
We have experenced one case of lipoid pneumonia cause by an aspiration of shark liver oil, which
were confirmed by open lung biopsy. This case is reported with a brief review of literature. |
