Some patients with vaping-related lung injuries are being hospitalized a second time.

Federal health officials investigating mysterious vapingrelated lung injuries said Friday that some patients are being hospitalized for a second time, a disturbing new development in the ongoing outbreak that has spread to every state except Alaska.

The hospital readmissions have taken place as quickly as five days and up to 55 days after discharge, said Anne Schuchat, principal deputy director at the national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It’s not known what triggered the relapses. In some cases, patients had resumed vaping. It’s also possible that initial lung damage made patients more vulnerable to other illness. Another possibility, Schuchat said, is that treatment with steroids, which many clinicians have been using to care for such injuries, may “set you up for increased infection risk.”
