  • Title: Adult respiratory distress syndrome from sulfuric acid fume inhalation.
    Author: Knapp MJ, Bunn WB, Stave GM.
    Journal: South Med J; 1991 Aug; 84(8):1031-3. PubMed ID: 1882255.
    Abstract:
    A 23-year-old man had adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) caused by acute exposure to sulfuric acid fumes. The patient survived the initial hospitalization to be readmitted later with a lung abscess. After therapy, his chest roentgenogram and pulmonary function tests revealed no abnormalities except a marginally decreased DLCO, and he was without functional deficit. Noncardiogenic pulmonary edema probably resulted from direct alveolar injury caused by sulfuric acid.
