Abstract
Introduction:
Acute Lung Injury (ALI) and the Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) are severe respiratory diseases that have a very poor prognosis and have numerous causes.
Here we are reporting a very unusual case of chemical inhalation induced ARDS due to exposure to holi colours
A 24-year-old female patient, known case of Bronchial Asthma (poorly compliant to inhaler therapy) presented with sudden onset respiratory distress
After extensively excluding other plausible causes, diagnosis of exclusion was made as Bronchial Asthma with Inhalational Injury due to colour dust.
Patient responded on steroid therapy, there was an improvement in oxygenation and NIV support was gradually tapered off.

Key words: respiratory distress, lung injury, bronchial asthma
