Electricity is a fundamental part of the modern civilized community. Electrical injuries can cause damage to all organs and it can cause thermal, electro – physiological, traumatic, and metabolic alterations. Victims may be similar to usual cardiac, trauma, or burn victims, creating diagnostic challenging, and some time very hard to get history. The electrical injury may lead to additional complications, such as haemoptysis, acute respiratory distress, and infection. The lung injury due to electric shock has not often reported but might happen after exposure to high or low voltage. Here we described an interesting and rare case of 25 years old male found to be with bilateral lung injury after exposure of high voltage electrical current shock.
