Covert inhalation of tablet causing fatal pneumonia.

S N Hill1, A N Main, W J Fuggle.   

Abstract

Inhalation of foreign bodies is usually associated with acute respiratory symptoms. We report a case of an elderly woman who died from pneumonia due to covert tablet inhalation. Clinicians caring for the elderly should consider this as a possible cause for pneumonia which fails to respond to usual therapy.
