    Vaping or electronic cigarettes (E-cigarette vaping) can induce acute or subacute lung pulmonary which can be serious and potentially life-threatening. Vaping is the process by which a substance such as nicotine or tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), is heated creating aerosols that are inhaled using different devices such as E-cigarette that work on batteries. In the world, there are more than 2000 cases described of which two-thirds are males between the ages of 13 and 75 years of age. Here we present the case of a 15-year-old female patient, with prior use of cigarettes and vaping of cannabis, that is brought to the emergency room by her parents with acute respiratory complains during de COVID 19 pandemic and was finally diagnosed as acute eosinophilic pneumonia as a histological manifestation of EVALI.
