Abstract

Acute exposure to selenium hydrochloride resulted in severe dyspnea and a pneumomediastinum in a young healthy man. Pulmonary function tests revealed restrictive and obstructive airways disease. Although the patient's pulmonary function slowly improved, subsequent studies revealed persistent impairment. Therefore, exposure to selenium gas may result acutely in severe coughing and wheezing and may lead to irreversible obstructive lung disease.
