The immediate and long-term prognosis and possible sequelae are also variable. This review excludes infectious or immunologically induced acute respiratory diseases. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis Prognosis is good with early diagnosis and management. Late-diagnosed chronic pneumonitis may lead to progressive, irreversible lung disease. [patient.info]
Expectations (prognosis) The outcome depends on the chemical agent involved, the severity of exposure, and whether the problem is acute or chronic. Complications Respiratory failure and death can occur. [coordinatedhealth.com]
Treatment and prognosis Complications The major complication associated with aspiration is pulmonary infection: segmental or lobar pneumonia bronchopneumonia lung abscess empyema Other causes of airspace opacity need to be considered 3 : pulmonary edema [radiopaedia.org]
