We present a case of a 58-year-old man who experienced Bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia after a 3-month exposure to polyester powder paint. Mineralogical analysis by transmission electron microscopy of a pulmonary sample and the polyester powder paint he was exposed to showed the presence of titanium dioxide nanoparticles in both. We suggest that exposure to titanium dioxide nanoparticles should be added to the etiology of Bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia.
我们报告了 1 例 58 岁男性病例,他在接触聚酯粉末涂料 3 个月后发生机化性细支气管炎性闭塞性肺炎。对患者肺部样本和接触的聚酯粉末涂料进行透射电子显微镜矿物学分析,结果均显示两者均存在二氧化钛纳米颗粒。我们建议,将二氧化钛纳米颗粒暴露添加到机化性细支气管炎性闭塞性肺炎的病因中。
