We present the case of a 35-year-old male who developed a chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) following inhalational exposure to a fluorocarbon waterproofing aerosol spray, caused by his work for an upholstery and soft furnishings retailer. This is the first case report from inhalational fluorocarbon exposure with histological evidence of chronic HP. This is then discussed in the context of previous reports of interstitial lung disease and lung injury, caused by similar occupational and non-occupational exposures.
我们报告了一例 35 岁男性病例,他因在一家家具和软装饰零售商工作时吸入含氟碳的防水喷雾气溶胶而患上慢性过敏性肺炎(HP)。这是首例吸入含氟碳暴露并具有慢性 HP 组织学证据的病例报告。然后,我们结合先前报道的类似职业和非职业暴露引起的间质性肺病和肺损伤病例进行了讨论。
