LATE COMPLICATIONS OF SULFUR MUSTARD IN RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
In the last few years many chemically injured patients have been visited throughout the country in order to investigate the late respiratory complications of sulfur mustard. 35 patients who were previously admitted for mustard poisoning underwent complete clinical examination as well as spirometry, fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB), Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), and trans bronchial lung biopsy...

متن کاملRespiratory Complications Due to Sulfur Mustard Exposure.
Sulfur mustard (SM) or bis (2-chloroethyl) sulfide is a vesicant and alkylating chemical weapon. SM was used in the 1980s against Iran by Iraqi forces. After exposure to SM in initial acute phase the greatest damage is incurred by the eyes, skin and lungs and the highest damage is caused to the lungs. This injury not only in the acute phase but also in the long-term has the highest prevalence a...
متن کاملThe Role of Oxidative Stress in Severity of Obstructive Pulmonary Complications in Sputum of Sulfur Mustard-Injured Patients
Background: Sulfur mustard (SM) is a strong bifunctional alkylating agent that causes delayed complications in organs such as lung. Oxidative stress plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis and progression of many pulmonary diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the oxidative stress in sputum of SM exposed patients with mild, moderate and severe pulmonary dysfunction and assessing t...
متن کاملThe Role of Serum Level of Interleukin-6 in Severity of Pulmonary Complications of Sulfur Mustard Injuries
Diverse studies suggest that interleukin-6 (IL6), as a member of cytokines family, has a major role in inflammatory processes of airways and lungs. In this study, an attempt was made to determine the serum level of IL6 in sulfur mustard (SM) injured patients and its comparison with controls. The measured IL6 mean level in patients with chemical injuries (0.76±0.3 ng/ml) was significantly higher...
