Fire-eater's pneumonia is a chemical pneumonitis that can develop after accidental aspiration of liquid hydrocarbon-based fuel during a flame-blowing or a fire-eating performance. Typical findings of the patient are similar with any infectious pneumonia: chest pain, shortness of breath, cough, fever, and hemoptysis can be seen.
We report two cases of acute paraffin oil-induced pneumonia due to accidental aspiration during fire-eating performance.
The symptoms and course of respiratory manifestations and the treatment strategies of fire-eater's pneumonia are reviewed.
吞火者肺炎是一种化学性肺炎，可在火焰喷射或吞火表演期间意外吸入液态烃基燃料后发生。患者的典型表现与任何感染性肺炎相似：可见胸痛、呼吸急促、咳嗽、发热和咯血。
我们报告两例在吞火表演期间因意外吸入导致的急性石蜡油诱发的肺炎病例。
对吞火者肺炎的呼吸道表现症状、病程及治疗策略进行了综述。
