The Importance of Anamnesis: A Case of Hypochlorite and Hydrochloric Acid Inhalation
Authored by Cihangir Doğu
We want to discuss a case of toxic substance inhalation which is one of
the uncommon causes of severe respiratory failure in our article. The
42-year-old housewife was intubated in the emergency department with the
complaint of dyspnea. The patient was transferred to intensive care
unit. No pathology was found in cranial and thorax computerized
tomography. Bronchoscopy revealed alveolar edema and bronchomalacia.
Respiratory failure regressed, and the patient was extubated on the
seventh day of hospitalization. It was learned from herself that the
patient developed shortness of breath after the use of hypochlorite and
hydrochloric acid for cleaning purposes. On the twelfth day of her
admission, she was transferred to the infectious diseases ward. In this
case, since the history of exposure was unknown, and no information
learnt from the relatives of the patients, the differential diagnosis
was difficult.
