Particle size for differentiation between inhalation and injection pulmonary talcosis
Environmental Research, 1980Abstract Light microscopic measurement of the size of birefringent particles in 11 cases of pulmonary talcosis provides differentiation between injection and inhalation origin. The mean particle diameter (±SD) in inhalation cases was 3.7 ± 2.9 μm and in injection cases was 14.2 ± 9.0 μm ( P 5 μm) should raise the suspicion of injection as the ...

Pulmonary Ventilatory Function in Talcosis of Lung
Diseases of the Chest, 1964Pulmonary ventilatory function tests were performed in 20 workers who were engaged in the process of milling or mining of talc and who had clinical and roentgenographic findings compatible with talc pneumoconiosis. These workers were exposed for an average of 23 years to dusts containing predominantly talc admixed with other silicates (tremolite and ...

Talcosis Associated with IV Abuse of Oral Medications
American Journal of Roentgenology, 2000Our objective was to evaluate the CT appearance of talcosis associated with IV abuse of oral medications and to compare the findings of talcosis related to methylphenidate with those findings seen with other drugs.The CT scans of 12 patients with talcosis (seven men, five women), 33-54 years old (mean age, 44 years), were analyzed retrospectively ...

Pulmonary Talcosis as a Result of Massive Aspiration of Baby Powder
Southern Medical Journal, 1977Progressive diffuse pulmonary fibrosis as a sequel to massive aspiration of baby powder (talc) is documented. The diagnosis should be considered in "idiopathic" pulmonary fibrosis in childhood and adult life.

Blue Bodies in Cytology Specimens in a Case of Pulmonary Talcosis
American Journal of Clinical Pathology, 1984Unusual extracellular birefringent laminated ovoid structures are seen in bronchial brushing, aspiration, and washing specimens in a 28-year-old woman who had histologic evidence of pulmonary talcosis. Energy dispersive x-ray analysis and microchemical studies have identified them to be calcium carbonate.

Long-term Follow-up of Drug Abusers with Intravenous Talcosis
American Review of Respiratory Disease, 1989Abstract Six patients who injected talc containing drugs intended for oral use were assessed over a period of ten or more years from the time of initiation of this habit. Despite discontinuation of the drug abuse, all developed severe respiratory disability and three died from their disease.

Pulmonary talcosis due to intravenous drug abuse
2021Clinical History: A 44-year-old male presented to the cardiologist complaining of long-lasting progressive dyspnoea, worsening on exertion. In the last 10 days, he experienced mild fever and was treated with antibiotics for pneumonia, without significant improvement. He reported illicit drug use and had been on substitutional methadone therapy.
