Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a life-threatening lung injury characterized by rapid onset of widespread inflammation in the lungs. Multiple risk factors, including pneumonia, non-pulmonary sepsis, aspiration of gastric contents or inhalation injury, have been reported, to cause ARDS. We present a case of a healthy young woman in her first trimester with vaping-induced lung injury who presented with spontaneous pneumothorax and acute respiratory distress syndrome with concomitant influenza A and rhinovirus infection followed by methicillin-resistant pneumonia.
