This article reports the case of a patient demonstrating acute bilateral pneumonitis almost completely confined to the upper lobes as a result of inhaling heroin. We attribute this distribution to the patient performing the Valsalva manoeuvre immediately after inhaling heroin. This pattern has not been reported before and we believe it may be seen more frequently owing to a switch amongst drug users from intravenous to inhaled heroin.
这篇文章报告了一例患者因吸入海洛因而导致几乎完全局限于上叶的急性双侧肺炎。我们将这种分布归因于患者在吸入海洛因后立即进行瓦尔萨尔瓦动作。这种模式以前没有报道过,我们认为由于吸毒者从静脉注射海洛因转为吸入海洛因,这种情况可能会更频繁地出现。
