title: [Alveolar hemorrhage caused by exposure to pesticides].
abstract: 17 years old boy was admitted because of cough, hemoptysis and mild fever. These symptoms appeared a day after exposure to Decis-pesticide of relatively low toxicity for people. In hospital respiratory failure (pO2 48.5 mmHg) and alveolar haemorrhage (the presence of bloody fluid with hemosiderin loaded macrophages, the signs of alveolar filling in chest HRCT scan and elevation of diffuse capacity) were recognised. All symptoms completely disappeared after 5 month of corticosteroids therapy.
