Bagassosis , an interstitial lung disease , is a type of hypersensitivity pneumonitis attributed to exposure to moldy molasses [1] or bagasse dust.[2] [3]
Signs and symptoms
[ edit ]
Some symptoms and signs of bagassosis include breathlessness , cough, haemoptysis , and slight fever. Acute diffuse bronchiolitis may also occur. An X-ray may show mottling of lungs or a shadow.
Cause
[ edit ]
Bagassosis has been shown to be due to a thermophilic actinomycete for which the name Thermoactinomycetes sacchari was suggested.
Prevention
[ edit ]
The following are precautionary measures that can be taken to avoid the spread of bagassosis:
Dust control – prevention/suppression of dust such as wet process, enclosed apparatus, exhaust ventilation etc. should be used
Personal protection – masks/respirators
Medical control – initial medical examination and periodical checkups of workers
Bagasse control – keep moisture content above 20% and spray bagasse with 2% propionic acid [4]
History
[ edit ]
Bagassosis was first reported in India by Ganguly and Pal in 1955, in a cardboard manufacturing plant near Kolkata. India has a large cane sugar industry . The sugarcane fibre which, until recently, went to waste, is now utilised in the manufacture of cardboard, paper and rayon.
