METHODS: The clinic and CT datas of 8 acute moderate or severe hydrogen sulphide poisoning cases were retrospectively analysed. RESULTS: The lesions located at two pulmonary each leaf in 3 cases, located at both lower lungs in 3 cases and asymmetry leaves in 2 cases. Lesions form: little patchy shadow in 8 cases (8/8), fibrous band shadow in 4 cases (4/8), ground glass shadow in 3 cases (3/8), peripheral fuzzy interlobular nodule in 4 cases (4/8); 5 cases complicated with pleural effusion; After treatment 6 ∼ 10 days, the pulmonary shadows were absorbed obviously; Fibrous band shadow was residual in a case after a follow-up of 2 months. CONCLUSION: With definite history of hydrogen sulphide inhalation and the corresponding clinical manifestations, and if fishermen contacted for a long time, who would be made chemical pulmonary damage; Combined with the imaging manifestations, the diagnosis as well as the severity of pulmonary damage could be made.
