Pulmonary calcification in smallpox handler's lung

Chest Clinic, Bridgend General Hospital, Bridgend, South Wales, UK

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.
