Abstract

A 39 year old male, with no significant previous medical illness, accidentally ingested diesel and subsequently developed chemical pneumonitis and he presented with typical clinical and radiological features of chemical pneumonitis. The diagnosis was confirmed by demonstrating foamy macrophages in bronchial lavage. The case is being reported due its rarity.
