A case of pulmonary disease due to cosmetic aerosol inhalation in a 43-year-old woman is presented. A hypersensitivity mechanism for the disease is suggested with the etiologic agent being some constituent of cosmetic aerosols, such as polyvinylpyrrolidone. Methods for substantiating pulmonary disease due to cosmetic aerosols, such as specific stains, infrared spectroscopy and skin tests, are discussed.
