Pneumoconiosis due to graphite dust.
Lassar Dunner (1945a) recorded the clinical and radiological findings in five men who had been exposed to " pure graphite " dust. They had been exposed for 17, 18, 20, 20, and 34 years respectively, and no other dusts were known to have been implicated. Three of the men had cough, sputum, and dyspnoea; the other two had no complaints. Radiographs showed reticulation with nodulation, and the que...
متن کاملHard metal pneumoconiosis with spontaneous bilateral pneumothorax.
Hard metal pneumoconiosis, first described in 1964, is a diffuse disease caused by the inhalation of cobalt particles. The disease can manifest as occupational asthma, interstitial disease or allergic alveolitis. We report the case of a young male, working as a tool sharpener, who presented with dry cough and progressive dyspnea for one year, as well as with spontaneous bilateral pneumothorax a...
متن کاملAllergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis due to Aspergillus oryzae.
A 19-year-old female student with allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) due to Aspergillus oryzae is reported. This organism was used for fermentation starter to make soybean paste in her father's workshop adjacent to the home where she lived. ABPA might be considered an occupational disease in certain situations.
متن کاملHard metal pneumoconiosis: a case of giant-cell interstitial pneumonitis in a machinist.
Pneumoconioses are a group of non-neoplastic pulmonary disorders caused by inhaled inorganic particles. Welldescribed forms of pneumoconiosis include those from asbestos, silica, coal dust, beryllium, and hard metals. Giant-cell interstitial pneumonia is an uncommon pneumoconiosis, usually due to exposure to hard-metal compounds, primarily cobalt and tungsten carbide. The natural course of the ...
متن کاملMixed pneumoconiosis due to silicates and hard metals associated with primary Sjögren's syndrome due to silica
Here, we describe the case of a 75-year-old man who presented with a 3-year history of progressive dyspnea on exertion (classified as grade II/III on the modified Medical Research Council scale) and persistent dry cough. He had worked as a professional welder for 35 years, welding alloys, polishing weldments by sandblasting and steel blasting, and regularly performing isolation of fixed applian...
