Acute exposure to high concentrations of cadmium fumes may cause acute chemical pneumonitis with a possibly fatal outcome. The etiologic diagnosis of acute cadmium intoxication from inhaled fumes may be difficult and can be confused with other forms of acute respiratory failure. We report on a case of a fit 53 year-old man who was exposed to cadmium fumes after flame-cutting an alloy containing around 10% of cadmium for a period of 60-75 minutes. He developed severe chemical pneumonitis and died 19 days after exposure.
急性接触高浓度镉烟可能导致急性化学性肺炎，甚至可能致命。吸入烟雾导致的急性镉中毒的病因诊断可能很困难，且可能与其他形式的急性呼吸衰竭相混淆。我们报告一例病例，一名53岁健康男性在对一种含镉量约为10%的合金进行火焰切割60至75分钟后接触了镉烟。他患上了严重的化学性肺炎，并在接触后19天死亡。
