Lymphocytic alveolitis in a crematorium worker.
نویسندگان
چکیده
An asymptomatic cremator was found incidentally to have lymphocytic alveolitis by bronchoalveolar lavage, and the basis for this finding was investigated. No known causes of lymphocyte alveolitis including sarcoidosis, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, berylliosis, tuberculosis, or fungal diseases of the lung were found. By exclusion, therefore, exposure to formaldehyde and/or to compounds in the residual ash likely were etiologic in the development of the lymphocytic alveolitis.
