Introduction:
Kerosene pneumonitis is rare. It most commonly occurs in children who have ingested a hydrocarbon by accident. In adults, pneumonitis caused by aspiration of incompletely vaporized kerosene may be seen in fire-eaters can cause pneumonitis.
Case Reports:
We report six cases of fire-eater's pneumonitis, from our region, due to hydrocarbon inhalation.
Conclusions:
This inhalational pulmonary insult has classical clinical manifestations. The frequency of cases, particularly in tourist areas that host street festivals, is probably underestimated. Its tendency to spontaneously resolve questions the need for antibiotics and corticosteroids.
