BACKGROUND: In 2019, there was widespread presentation of respiratory distress as well as other organ system involvement in patients with a history of vaping. There continue to be reports of vaping-associated illness (VAI). This has come to be known as e-cigarette and vaping product associated lung injury (EVALI). The mechanism of injury remains unclear.
OBJECTIVES: This study reexamines the clinical characteristics of patients affected by vaping and suggests that lung injury may not be the primary organ dysfunction but be part of a larger systemic illness.
METHODS: This is a retrospective chart review of all patients presenting to one hospital identified as having vaping-associated illness RESULTS: Fourteen patients were identified ranging in age from 15 to 33 years. Patients had a broad range of clinical severity. Respiratory symptoms occurred in 64%, gastrointestinal symptoms in 57%, fever in 78%, neurological symptoms in 15% and other constitutional symptoms in 50%. 35% presented with no respiratory symptoms.
CONCLUSION: While the lungs are certainly involved in vaping-associated illness, recognizing the extent of involvement of other organ systems may provide insight into the pathophysiology of the disease. Providers should be aware that vaping-associated illness presents with a multitude of symptoms outside of lung injury, such as abdominal pain, headache or even fever.
