Abstract

The characteristics of the effects of exposure to cotton dust were adequately described more than 50 years ago. Symptoms of airway irritation, cough with or without phlegm, and Monday morning chest tightness are typical. The symptoms caused by exposure to cotton dust are similar to those induced by other organic dusts. A common pathology is acute or chronic inflammation, and bacterial endotoxins seem to be the causative agents for the acute and some chronic reactions.

摘要

50多年前就已充分描述了接触棉尘的影响特征。气道刺激症状、有痰或无痰咳嗽以及周一早晨胸闷是典型症状。接触棉尘引起的症状与其他有机粉尘引起的症状相似。常见病理是急性或慢性炎症，细菌内毒素似乎是急性和一些慢性反应的致病因素。
