Abstract
- Hydrocarbon pneumonitis is an inflammatory change in the lungs caused by ingestion or inhalation of household products that contain hydrocarbons. We experienced a rare case of hydrocarbon pneumonitis with a pulmonary hemorrhage in a 3-year-old girl after ingestion of paint thinner which has a high mortality. She was admitted due to dyspnea, vomiting, hemoptysis, and needed to support mechanical ventilation. She recovered completely with no respiratory complicaion, after mechanical ventilatory support, antibiotics, and steroids treatment.
