Abstract

Objective: To study the occurrence of EMPHYSEMA and accuracy of PULMONARY FUNCTION TEST ‎‎ (PFT), comparing with chest HIGH RESOLUTION COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY (HRCT), in smokers with ‎history of exposure to TOXIC FUMES (Sulfur Mustard SM).Material and Methods: This was a cross sectional study (2003- 2004) on 20 symptomatic ‎smokers with mild SM exposure (Group I) and 20 smokers without SM exposure (Group II). ‎PFT and CHEST HRCT were performed for all patients to detect EMPHYSEMA. Sensitivity, ‎specificity, and positive and negative predictive values were calculated for PFT.‎Results: PFT did not diagnose EMPHYSEMA in group I while CHEST HRCT diagnosed five ‎patients (sensitivity=0). Group II developed EMPHYSEMA (11 of 20, 55%) more frequently than ‎group I (5 of 20, 20%, p<0.05). No a1-antitrypsin deficiency was found in all 70 individuals.Conclusions: Smokers with an additional risk factor, such as exposure to TOXIC FUMES, develop ‎EMPHYSEMA at younger ages while they have normal PFT. CHEST HRCT should be regarded as ‎a useful tool in the early diagnosis of EMPHYSEMA in such cases.‎
