The pulmonary disease—anemia syndrome that occurs after inhalation of trimellitic anhydride (TMA) fumes consists of cough, hemoptysis and dyspnea with pulmonary infiltrates, a restrictive respiratory defect, hypoxemia, and anemia. The disease may be mild, moderate, or potentially fatal. A possible fatal case has been identified. Although previously considered a chemical pneumonitis, the recognition of 2 other types of immunologically mediated, TMA inhalational disease prompted the analysis of serum antibodies in 6 workers with TMA pulmonary disease—anemia syndrome and 6 co-workers of the most severely ill subject. A comparison was made with antibody concentrations of TMA workers previously identified as having other respiratory syndromes due to the inhalation of TMA powder in a TMA production plant. Trimellityl human serum albumin and trimellityl human erythrocytes were used as antigens. Radioimmunoassays examined total serum antibody binding and IgE and IgG antibody concentrations against trimellityl hum...
