Overview
Treatment of lipoid pneumonia is not well studied and published experience is only with case reports
Medical Therapy
- Treatment of lipoid pneumonia is not well studied and published experience is only with some case reports.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]
- In the case of exogenous lipoid pneumonia, avoiding ongoing exposure and providing supportive care is the mainstay of treatment.
- As anti-inflammatory agents, corticosteroids are good option as a therapeutic option.
- However, corticosteroids are not indicated in all cases and should be used with precautions if the lung injury is severe and ongoing.
- Lipoid pneumonia being successfully treated with immunoglobulins and whole-lung lavage.
- Repeated whole-lung lavage is especially useful in children.
