[Pathogenesis of lung changes caused by inhalation of organic solvents]

Pulmonary lesions were studied in autopsy material and in model experiments by light- and electron microscopy. Histologically in lung severe haemorrhage was found. Electronmicroscopically damage to the permeability could be revealed. Authors assume, that these investigations evidence the hypothesis, according to which inhalation of organic solvents causes morphologically detectable alterations in the lung tissue.
