Pulmonary interstitial fibrosis with evidence of aflatoxin B1 in lung tissue

Journal Article · · J. Toxicol. Environ. Health; (United States)

Three cases of pulmonary interstitial fibrosis, two in agricultural workers and one in a textile worker, are reported. In lung samples of all three patients the presence of aflatoxin B1 was demonstrated by radioimmunoassay (RIA). A possible occupational risk of aflatoxin exposure via the respiratory tract is suggested.
