  • Title: Metal fume fever.
    Author: Van Pee D, Vandenplas O, Gillet JB.
    Journal: Eur J Emerg Med; 1998 Dec; 5(4):465-6. PubMed ID: 9919454.
    Abstract:
    Metal fume fever (MFF) is an acute self-limited, flu-like illness resulting from inhalation of metal oxides. Despite the well-documented history of MFF in the medical literature, the illness may remain unrecognized because it may mimic a viral illness. The case of a patient with MFF due to galvanized steel welding presenting to the emergency room is described.
