Interstitial pulmonary disease and aluminum trihydrate exposure: A single case report and detailed workplace analysis.
American Journal of Industrial Medicine 2024 January 23
Exposure to aluminum compounds is clearly associated with pulmonary function decrements, and several animal models document possible mechanisms of aluminum- compound-induced pulmonary toxicity. Nevertheless, disagreements remain about the precise mechanism by which exposures lead to damage. We present a strong case for attributing a case of interstitial pulmonary disease to occupational exposure to aluminum trihydrate. This report follows a 2014 publication of another case of interstitial pulmonary disease following a similar exposure. Our patient eventually underwent double lung transplantation nearly 5 years postexposure. Detailed pulmonary particulate elemental analysis suggested that aluminum metal, including aluminum trihydrate, was the most likely cause. A detailed assessment of the worker's relevant occupational exposures accompanies this case report.
