Steam vaporizer injuries.
There were an estimated 656 cases of vaporizer-related injuries seen in hospital emergency departments in 1979. Two cases of burns with respiratory involvement are described. Both children were directly exposed to steam from commercial vaporizers and suffered cutaneous and respiratory burns. These cases emphasize the hazards of steam vaporizers, devices that have no proven therapeutic benefits.

Recurrent aspiration in children: lipid-laden alveolar macrophage quantitation.
We prospectively evaluated bronchial washings from 45 patients aged 1 month to 25 years (mean 3.3 years) for the presence of lipid-laden macrophages. By grading the amount of intracellular oil-red-O-positive material, we determined a semiquantitative lipid-laden macrophage index for each patient. All patients observed to be definite aspirators (n = 22) had indexes greater than or equal to 86 (mean +/- SD, 139 +/- 46). All patients with no clinical suspicion of aspiration (n = 23) had indexes less than or equal to 72 (mean +/- SD, 21 +/- 20). Our results suggest that simply sighting lipid-laden macrophages in a nonspecific finding, but quantitation of these cells may be a very good test for recurrent aspiration of food substances in children. This test appears to be more sensitive than radiographic studies.
