Bronchoalveolar Lavages Combined With Glucocorticoids in Management of Acute Exogenous Lipoid Pneumonia: 3 Case Reports

Key Points

Bronchoalveolar lavage combined with glucocorticoids effectively treats acute exogenous lipoid pneumonia.
The treatment displayed significant improvements in all three cases, emphasizing its potential effectiveness.
Observational analysis of the treatment's advantages demonstrates its benefits in severe cases of lipoid pneumonia.
This approach offers new insights into managing acute exogenous lipoid pneumonia in clinical settings.

Abstract

Exogenous lipoid pneumonia (ELP) is a rare disease with both acute and chronic forms. This paper primarily summarizes the diagnosis and treatment process of bronchoalveolar lavage combined with glucocorticoids treatment of acute ELP caused by aspiration of liquid hydrocarbons (e.g., kerosene and diesel fuel) at our hospital. Furthermore, the present study analyzes the advantages of bronchoalveolar lavage combined with glucocorticoids treatment of acute ELP.
