Chemical pneumonia

Experimental Chemical Pneumonia

It is obvious from the experiments reported that concentrations of chloramine-T solutions, even more dilute than those which are well borne by the nasopharyngeal mucosa, are injurious to the pulmonary tissue when introduced directly into. the bronchi in large volume. The pulmonary lesions produced are of the nature of an extensive bronchopneumonia which progresses during the first 2 days after ...

On the Relation of Bacteria to So-called "chemical Pneumonia"

The question of a causal relation of the bacteria in gassed lungs to the pneumonia present cannot be regarded as decided. It may be said that: 1. The appearance of gassed lungs with pneumonia is very similar to the pneumonia of known bacterial origin. 2. In a few cases the type of pneumonia found coincides with the reported cases of so-called "chemical pneumonia," which is characterized by a pr...

Pneumonia due to liquid paraffin: with chemical analysis.

The first description of oil aspiration pneumonia in man was by Laughlen in 1925. He described 4 cases diagnosed at necropsy: 3 of the patients were infants and 1 was an adult. In 2 cases the administration of liquid paraffin by mouth was incriminated and in the other 2 oily nasal drops had been used. Pinkerton (1927) described 6 cases diagnosed at necropsy, 5 were infants and 1 was a 6-year-ol...

Legionnaires' disease pneumonia: histopathologic features and comparison with microbial and chemical pneumonias.

The histopathologic findings in lung tissue are reported from five cases of Philadelphia Legionnaire's Disease and the results are compared to pneumonias caused by other microbial and chemical agents. Histopathology of lung tissue was similar in all cases, despite the fact that death occurred between the fourth and 14th day of clinical illness. The inflammatory response was almost totally limit...
