Coffee worker's lung: A new example of extrinsic allergic alveolitis
AUTOR(ES)
Van Toorn, D. W.
RESUMO
A man who worked for more than 20 years in a coffee-roasting factory developed lung lesions. By immunological investigations it was proven that there were circulating antibodies against coffee-bean dust in the patient's serum. Immunofluorescence of the lung biopsy demonstrated deposits of IgG and complement along the alveolar capillaries. The histological features are described.
