Dr. Hollis K. Russell, Pean
Pierre Gaudy, and Samuel L.
Beranbaum demonstrated with
440 consecutive autopsies at the
St. Barnabas Hospital for
Chronic Diseases in New York,
an incidence of more than 10 per
cent. The patients had been de
bilitated and most were aged.
Autopsy revealed that in 47,
lipoid pneumonia had been a
contributing cause of death.
"In more than half the cases
the probable etiologic-causing
agent was mineral oil," the sci
entists said in their report to the
Medical Society of the State of
New York. "In 28 there was a
history of repeated attacks of
pneumonitis or definite broncho
pneumonia. Oily Substances Dangerous
"It would seem advisable that
ingestion or instillations of oily
material in the aged or debili
tated should be discontinued."
But they were also against the
use of such oily substances as
nose drops and metholated petro
leum jelly in the "upper respira
tory passages." Moreover, when
it is necessary to feed infants
and the debilitated by tube, min
eral oil shouldn't be applied to
the, tube, they said it shouldn't
even be put on the dry lips of de
bilitated patients.
Droplets of oil enter the lungs
through the upper air passages.
Because mineral oil is "bland
and non-irritating," it produces
little or no cough reflex, they
said. This reflex would expel it
from the air passages. Hence,
the red flag as regards persons
with poor reflexes and the im
plied warning , that, oily sub
stances deserve suspicion.
Disease Stages Shown
In their microscopic examina
tions of lungs showing lipoid
pneumonia, they demonstrated
several stages of the disease. In
the cases where the oily infiltra
tion had been going on for a long
time, they found that the cut
sutfaces of the tissue had "a
characteristic appearance."
"It is smooth and fairly solid,
and the color is yellowish white,
canary yellow, or orange yel
low," they reported. "Frequent
ly these infiltrated yellow areas
are found in more or less con
fluent patches.
When the cut surface is
scraped with a knife, many oily
droplets are noted."
The first report of lipoid pneu
monia in human beings was
made only in 1925, although Eu
ropean scientists had produced
it experimentally in animals by
injecting oil substances into their
wind pipes. In 1943 Dr. W.. J.
Sweeney reported 264 cases.
