Abstract
Abstract We report a rare case of bilateral pulmonary hemorrhage with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), following high-voltage electricity exposure in a 29-year-old electric lineman while cutting an electrical wire for an uncertain duration. He was unconscious after falling from a tree following the exposure. His chest radiograph showed bilateral nonhomogeneous opacities, and high-resolution computed tomography revealed bilateral extensive ground-glass opacities, suggestive of pulmonary hemorrhage with ARDS. The patient was managed conservatively with intravenous fluids and oxygen. He recovered with near-complete resolution of chest X-ray abnormalities by day 5 of admission.
