Metal fume fever is not an uncommon syndrome among welders following exposure to oxidized metal fumes (usually zinc). The relationship of serum zinc level to the acute phase of this illness is not known. Two cases of metal fume fever, associated with elevated serum zinc levels, are presented. Further studies are necessary to determine the diagnostic usefulness of serum zinc levels in metal fume fever.
金属烟雾热是焊工接触氧化金属烟雾（通常是锌）后常见的一种综合征。血清锌水平与该疾病急性期的关系尚不清楚。本文报告了两例与血清锌水平升高相关的金属烟雾热病例。有必要进行进一步研究以确定血清锌水平在金属烟雾热诊断中的作用。
