Bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia following nitric acid fume exposure
Occup Med (Lond).
2014 Mar.
Abstract
We describe a patient with clinical, radiological and pathological features of bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia. Investigation showed that this was likely to have been a delayed consequence of inhalation of nitric acid fumes (containing nitrogen dioxide) after a fire. This case shows that thorough investigation of the aetiology is important not only in clinical management but also in ensuring patients benefit from appropriate work injury compensation.
Keywords: Bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia; nitric acid; nitrogen dioxide; toxic inhalation..
