Abstract

Exogenous lipoid pneumonia ELP is a rare condition in common pediatric practice. Its clinical presentation is non-specific. Delay in diagnosis and treatment exposes infants to chronic respiratory failure. We report the observation of a 2-month-old infant with respiratory signs that drag on. The imaging showed several negative density pulmonary opacities. Foam cells were isolated on sputum cytological study. Taking paraffin oil for constipation suggested Exogenous lipoid pneumonia. The aim of herein observation is to draw attention to mineral oil administration drugs risks in infants especially if they are at risk.
