Abstract

A 27-year-old woman presented with cough, fever, and pulmonary infiltrates after heavy cocaine smoking. Large amounts of carbonaceous material and pigment-laden macrophages were recovered by bronchoalveolar lavage. Alveolar deposition of particulate matter from heavy cocaine smoking has not been previously reported and may have been the cause of this patient's symptoms and abnormal findings on chest radiograph.
