How vaping impacts alveolar macrophage lipid content EVALI Alveolar Macrophage Cigarette Macrophage Vaping Vape LungFunction GeiselMed
By Dr. Priyom Bose, Ph.D.Dec 11 2022Reviewed by Benedette Cuffari, M.Sc. A new Archives of Clinical and Medical Case Reports study provides new evidence demonstrating that the use of e-cigs increases the risk of acute respiratory syndrome.
In the U.S., between 2019 and 2020, more than 2,000 cases of e-cigarette or vaping product use-associated lung injury were reported. Nevertheless, increased use of e-cigs has been reported among adults and high and middle school students. Thus, it is imperative to understand the long-term effects of chronic e-cig use.
In the current study, researchers describe a novel macrophage phenotype isolated from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of a chronic e-cig consumer. She did not complain of respiratory distress and was not taking any daily medications for chronic diseases. In addition, her lung examination report was normal. She also did not have any family history of lung diseases.
