“…Long-term controlled studies looking at the effects of inhaling heated aerosolized VG the histologic features in such cases have not been well studied. Acute bronchiolitis has been described in acute hypersensitivity pneumonitis, which was absent in all our cases [16,17]. Case 1 showed focal collections of foamy macrophages as described above, but they were not felt to be extensive enough for a diagnosis of exogenous lipoid pneumonia, as was the reported primary pattern of injury in the recent outbreak in North Carolina [18].…”

Electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) use, also known as vaping, has gained popularity among young adults. It has been promoted as a safer alternative to conventional cigarette smoking. Recent reports, however, have linked e-cigarette use to lung dysfunction. We report a series of four patients who were recently treated within our hospital system for vaping associated lung illness (VALI). All four were young, healthy individuals with no significant past medical histories. Lung biopsies were performed on three of these patients and the results are reviewed in the article. All patients were treated with high dose steroids once cultures were finalized and no infectious etiology was detected. Recovery of lung function was seen after treatment in all cases.
