ΤΗΕ WOOD DUST TOXICITY ΙΝ ΤΗΕ WORK ENVIRONMENT
Abstract
We describe two cases with manifestations from the respiratory system because of the wood dust toxicity in the environment of the work. We comment the main manifestations of the disease (allergic rinitis, bronchial asthma, allergic alveolitis and the ethmoid neoplasia). Also we comment the etiology of pathogenesis, the patient's history, the epidemiology and the diagnosis proceeding of the disease.References
