Signs and symptoms
[edit]Commonly reported symptoms include shortness of breath, cough, fatigue, body aches, fever, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.[1] [2]Additional symptoms can include chest pain, abdominal pain, chills, or weight loss.[3] Symptoms can initially mimic common pulmonary diagnoses like pneumonia, but individuals typically do not respond to antibiotic therapy.[1] Individuals typically present for care within a few days to weeks of symptom onset.[1] At the time of hospital presentation, the individual is often hypoxic and meets systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) criteria, including high fever.[1] Physical exam can reveal tachycardia and tachypnea.[4] In some cases, they have progressive respiratory failure, leading to intubation.[1] Several affected individuals have needed to be placed in the ICU and undergo mechanical ventilation.[5] Time to recovery for hospital discharge has been from days to weeks.[1]
Mechanism
[edit]
Vaping refers to the increasingly popular practice of inhaling aerosol (vapor) from an electronic cigarette device, which works by heating a liquid that can contain nicotine, cannabis, or other drugs.[1] The long-term health impacts of vaping are unknown.[1] Some individuals also use a different type of device to heat and extract cannabinoids for inhalation in a process called "dabbing."[1] Both vaping and dabbing have been associated with VAPI.[1] Most individuals report vaping the cannabis compounds THC and/or CBD, and some also report vaping nicotine products.[1] A smaller group reported using nicotine alone.[6] On October 4, 2019, the CDC reported that the cause of the lung illnesses is unknown but it might be related to prefilled THC cartridges.[7]
