Clinical, physiologic, and bronchoscopic findings in a young man with acute injury of the respiratory tract due to inhalation of ammonia are described. Six months later, the patient's pulmonary function was reassessed by three radionuclidic lung-imaging procedures, which first revealed the sites and extent of the persisting obstructive disease processes. The diagnostic accuracy of the initial findings with radioactive xenon and aerosol were verified by the results of repeated bronchoscopic examination, bronchographic studies, standard pulmonary function tests, and lung-imaging procedures.
描述了一名因吸入氨气导致呼吸道急性损伤的年轻男子的临床、生理和支气管镜检查结果。六个月后，通过三种放射性核素肺成像程序对患者的肺功能进行了重新评估，首次揭示了持续性阻塞性疾病过程的部位和范围。放射性氙和气溶胶的初始检查结果的诊断准确性通过重复支气管镜检查、支气管造影研究、标准肺功能测试和肺成像程序的结果得到了验证。
