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.
