Sulfur mustards lung lesions

Guignabert, C., Taysse, L., Calvet, J.H., Planus, E., Delamanche, S., Galiacy, S., d Ortho, M.P. (2005). Effect of doxycycline on sulfur mustard-induced respiratory lesions in guinea pigs. Am. J. Physiol. Lung Cell. Mol. Physiol. 289 L67-74. 

Relapsing keratitis or keratopathy may develop years after apparent healing of severe eye lesions. Persistent eye conditions, loss of taste and smell, and chronic respiratory illness including asthmatic bronchitis, recurrent respiratory infections, and lung fibrosis may persist following exposure to sulfur mustards. Prolonged or repeated acute exposure to sulfur mustards may cause cutaneous sensitization and chronic respiratory disease. Repeated exposures result in cumulative effects because mustards are not naturally detoxified by the body.
