CHICAGO - Doctors studying lung tissue from people with vaping-related injuries have ruled out one diagnosis as a probable explanation of how vaping harms the lungs, further deepening the mystery over the exact cause of hundreds of illnesses in the United States.
They found that none of the cases had evidence of lipoid pneumonia, a rare diagnosis typically associated with people accidentally inhaling oils into their lungs. The serious respiratory illnesses have prompted a health scare that has led U.S. officials to urge people to stop vaping, especially products containing THC - the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana. Several states have also banned some vaping products and flavorings in response to the outbreak.
In the study published on Wednesday, Mayo pathologists looked at lung tissue removed from sick patients rather than just lung cells and found no sign of lipoid pneumonia.
