[Functional sequelae of Mendelson's syndrome. Myth or reality?].
Twenty patients having previously had a Mendelson's syndrome were subjected to a respiratory functional test. A syndrome of diffuse interstitial pulmonary fibrosis (DIPF) was found only in 3 cases examined shortly after the pneumopathy. In one of these cases, another examination done later showed signs of regressing fibrosis. The authors concluded that if a functional syndrome of DIPF occurred immediately after a Mendelson's pneumopathy, it eventually disappeared in the long term in most cases.
