Abstract		Background. Fire-eaters use liquid hydrocarbons for the performance of the flame-blowing and flame swallowing show. Aspiration of hydrocarbon mixture may cause severe lipoid pneumonia.

Prolonged treatment with antibiotics and systemic corticosteroids was successful Radiological resolution occurred three months after the accident
Summary		Izhodišča. Požiralci ognja uporabljajo med predstavo bruhanja oz. požiranja ognja mešanico ogljikovodikov. Aspiriranje te mešanice lahko povzroči hudo lipoidno pljučnico. Predstavljamo dva bolnika s hudo lipoidno pljučnico, ki sta med predstavo bruhanja ognja po nesreči aspirirala mešanico petroleja in parafina. Zaključki. Podaljšano zdravljenje z antibiotiki in sistemskimi kortikosteroidi je bilo uspešno. Spremembe v pljučnem parenhimu so skoraj popolnoma izginile.
