[Pneumonitis with fatal pulmonary fibrosis (Hamman-Rich syndrome) due to parathion-(E-605-) poisoning].
A patient with chronic Parathione (E 605) poisoning was observed over a period of 55 days. During that time he developed progressive changes, which were identical to those of progressive idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. The rapid development of an alveolitis, followed by a lethal pulmonary fibrosis, differed in no way, macroscopically nor microscopically, from the lung changes in paraquat poisoning (paraquat lung). The radiological course has been correlated with the clinical and post mortem findings.
