Abstract

Hydrocarbon pneumonitis is an inflammatory change in the lungs caused by ingestion or inhalation of household products that contain hydrocarbons. We experienced a rare case of hydrocarbon pneumonitis with a pulmonary hemorrhage in a 3-year-old girl after ingestion of paint thinner which has a high mortality. She was admitted due to dyspnea, vomiting, hemoptysis, and needed to support mechanical ventilation. She recovered completely with no respiratory complicaion, after mechanical ventilatory support, antibiotics, and steroids treatment.

저자들은 신나 흡인 후 발생한 구토와 보챔을 주소로 내원한 환아에서 발생한 폐출혈을 동반한 화학성 폐렴 1례를 경험하였기에 문헌 고찰과 함께 이를 보고하는 바이다.
