Abstract:
Occupational exposure to the diacetyl flavoring may cause bronchiolitis obliterans (BO) in workers. The first case of flavoring-related bronchiolitis obliterans was reported in 2002. Since then, similar cases have been identified among workers in various production industries in some countries and regions. At present, there are no cases reported in China. In order to improve the awareness of the disease and promote the prevention work, this article reviews the research progress of case recognition, risk factors, clinical manifestation and possible pathogenesis.
