Bilateral Pulmonary Infiltrate with Milky BAL Fluid

Exogenous lipoid pneumonia is an uncommon disease that’s caused by aspirating lipid formulations. Squalene,obtained from shark liver oil, is one of the causative agent and this is commonly used by some Koreans as a health promoting medication. We report here on a case of exogenous lipoid pneumonia that developed after ingestion of squalene capsules. The case showed milky BAL fluid and multiple pulmonary consolidations
