Numerous cases of e-cigarette, or vaping, associated lung injury (EVALI) have recently prompted an investigation of the outbreak in the US [1]. Only two non-fatal cases have been reported so far in Europe: one case of hypersensitivity pneumonia in the UK after the use of flavoured e-cigarette liquid by a young adolescent [2], and one US imported case recently described in Spain [3]. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a fatal EVALI case in Europe.
