Intralipid causing adult respiratory distress syndrome.
Adult respiratory distress syndrome developed in a patient after he was administered intralipid. Intralipid was implicated as the causal agent after careful assessment of the complete clinical picture. To the authors' knowledge this is the first documented case of intralipid-induced adult respiratory distress syndrome. Clinicians should be aware of the possibility of its occurrence.
