Tsunami Lung in Great East Japan Earthquake 2011: Clinical Time Course, Feature, Pathogenesis, and Treatment


Drowning was the cause of death in almost all victims of the Great East Japan Earthquake Tsunami (GEJET). People who experienced near-drowning suffered from Tsunami lung afterward. Tsunami lung is initiated by the aspiration of
a vast amount of sea water including sand, sludge from the sea bottom, small pieces of wood, petroleum, and undefined chemicals. Physical and chemical insults on the pulmonary tissues can cause ARDS. Subsequently, pulmonary complications by
infection with microorganisms occur. The pneumonia in Tsunami lung caused by multiple pathogens including fungi was often refractory to treatment. In GEJET, Scedosporium species were one of the pathogens identified in patients with
Tsunami lung.
