Popis: | Smallpox handler's lung was first described by Morris Evans and Foreman in 1963. During the South Wales smallpox outbreak of 1962 several nurses were noted to develop a “flu-like” illness following an exposure to smallpox patients. The late development of pulmonary calcification in one of these nurses, who is now 74 years old, is described. |
