The 'authore examined 17$ persons who worked or had worked with asbestos. They find th at asbestos bodies appear somewhat early in the sputum of these workers, sometimes after only 20 Says ftrom the time of exposure. These fibers may p e rsist even after cessation of exposure, but occur in almost a ll Workers exposed to asbestos dust, whether they exhibit functional or radiographic evi dence of asbestos 1b or not. Brown or golden yellow bodies are seen in the sputum along with uncolored fibers or spicules. The presence of these bodies, more or less scattered, indicates that the subject has inhaled asbestos dust, but i t does not necessarily signify that aabestosis ex ists. In other words, the discovery of asbestos bodies in the sputum la only one in the ensemble of elements which permit such a diagnosis. I t is true th at in the majority of cases where aabestosis is predicated by reason of the intensity of functional manifestations and radiographic signs, numerous asbestos bodies are noted, massed together, and displaying a radiate formation. As such, they are iden t i c a l to the clumps th at ere observed on h istological examination of the lungs of deceased cases, in the alv eo li. -- oA tr examined, Tiggat! Eld.
