abstract="BACKGROUND: Fire-eater's pneumonia is a chemical pneumonitis that can develop after accidental aspiration of liquid hydrocarbon-based fuel during a flame-blowing or a fire-eating performance. Typical findings of the patient are similar with any infectious pneumonia: chest pain, shortness of breath, cough, fever, and hemoptysis can be seen. CASE REPORTS: We report two cases of acute paraffin oil-induced pneumonia due to accidental aspiration during fire-eating performance. CONCLUSION: The symptoms and course of respiratory manifestations and the treatment strategies of fire-eater's pneumonia are reviewed.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
