Biopsy-proven
hypersensitivity pneumonitis caused by a fluorocarbon waterproofing spray
Abstract
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.
