Abstract |
The authors report a case of chronic beryllium intoxication in a forty-year-old technician who had fifteen years previously been exposed to the inhalation of beryllium oxide used in fluorescent tubes. The diagnosis was based upon the history, the radiological appearance and a positive patchtest with beryllium fluoride. Recent literature reports emphasize the great similitude of chronic beryllium intoxication and sarcoidosis, and support the hypothesis that tissue reactions induced by beryllium compounds are immunological reactions of the delayed type. A carcinogenetic effect of beryllium in several animal species is also described. |
