متن کاملSevere human psittacosis requiring artificial ventilation: case report and review.
Severe respiratory failure is an uncommon manifestation of psittacosis. We describe a patient with psittacosis who developed severe respiratory failure and required artificial ventilation. We also review 11 cases reported in the English-language literature over the past 30 years. A history of exposure to birds was reported in 10 of 12 cases and remains the most significant risk factor. Severe h...
متن کاملSystematic review of respiratory case definitions in metalworking fluid outbreaks.
BACKGROUND Since the mid-1990s, outbreaks of asthma and extrinsic allergic alveolitis (EAA) have been identified in workers exposed to metalworking fluids (MWFs). The cause of these outbreaks remains to be determined. AIMS To identify and review all previously published occupational lung disease case definitions and diagnostic criteria that have been utilized during MWF outbreak investigation...
