Marijuana is a commonly abused illicit substance around the world, and lung injury related to its use has seldom been cited in the literature. Most cases describe marijuana-induced lung injury via vaping and the use of butane hash oil; however, no cases, to our knowledge, have associated lung injury related to marijuana smoke in the form of rolled "blunts" or cigarettes. We describe the case of a patient who presented to the hospital due to chest computed tomography findings demonstrating diffuse bilateral opacifications without signs of systemic inflammatory response syndrome. Bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage and sputum cultures failed to identify an infectious etiology, and serologies were negative for autoimmune etiologies. We aim to contribute to the limited body of literature describing marijuana-induced lung injury.
大麻是一种在全球被普遍滥用的非法物质，而与使用大麻相关的肺损伤在文献中很少被提及。大多数病例描述的是通过吸电子烟和使用丁烷大麻油导致的大麻诱发的肺损伤；然而，据我们所知，尚无病例将与大麻烟雾相关的肺损伤与卷制的“钝器”或香烟形式联系起来。我们描述了一名患者的病例，该患者因胸部计算机断层扫描结果显示双侧弥漫性混浊且无全身炎症反应综合征迹象而入院。支气管镜检查及支气管肺泡灌洗和痰培养未能确定感染病因，血清学检查排除自身免疫病因。我们旨在为描述大麻诱发肺损伤的有限文献做出贡献。
