Toxic pulmonary edema (TPE) is a serious condition that occurs as a result of exposure of the lungs to toxins. This can be caused by various factors such as chemical poisoning, infectious diseases, allergies and others.
Symptoms of ALT may include shortness of breath, cough, chest pain, weakness, sweating, decreased appetite, and others. If you notice these symptoms, you should consult a doctor immediately.
Treatment for OLT depends on the cause of the disease. In some cases, hospitalization and intensive care may be required. Medicines may also be prescribed to relieve symptoms and prevent further development of the disease.
Prevention of OLT consists of avoiding contact with toxic substances, observing safety rules at work and at home, as well as timely treatment of infectious diseases.
