The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

The case history is presented of a patient who developed "popcorn worker's lung" following exposure to 2,3-butane-dione (diacetyl). Other similar cases are reviewed, and it is concluded that "food flavourer's lung" may be a more suitable diagnostic label.
