Rapid successful management of diffuse alveolar hemorrhage as the primary presentation of chlorine gas inhalation; A rare case report
Chlorine-containing bleach, as a common disinfectant, can cause mild to severe symptoms from nasal irritation to life-threatening conditions such as acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). However, the toxicity level of chlorine gas depend on the duration and concentration of exposure. Herein, w...

Herein, we describe the case of a 44-year-old man admitted to the emergency department with a chief complaint of severe shortness of breathing and hemoptysis following an accidental, short- time exposure to a chlorine-containing bleach. Because the life-threatening condition, he was transferred to Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and received mechanical ventilation along with a corticosteroid agent and antibiotic therapy. Despite limited data on management of the severe complications of the exposure, the patient successfully recovered after 4 days.samaneh kakhkiMohsen YaghubiMorteza ValaeiReza GhasemiMahmood Hosseinzadeh MalekiSara RezaeiTehran University of Medical Sciencesarticlediffuse alveolar hemorrhage (dah)acute respiratory distress syndrome (ards)chlorine gas inhalationcorticosteroidsMedicine (General)R5-920ENActa Medica Iranica, Pp 617-621 (2021) |
