Pathophysiology and Presentation of Berylliosis Beryllium is a rare earth metal, which can form alloys with several other metals. [lecturio.com]

Pathophysiology The key to the pathogenesis of chronic beryllium disease (CBD) is a delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction in which beryllium most likely functions as a hapten and acts as a class II restricted antigen, stimulating local proliferation [emedicine.medscape.com]

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is authorized by IACET to offer .15 IACET CEU's for this program. [atsdr.cdc.gov]

Prevention Eliminating exposure to beryllium is the surest way to prevent berylliosis. [encyclopedia.com]

How can we prevent beryllium disease? Workplaces need to identify sources of beryllium. In addition to the health hazards described above, beryllium is also a flammable solid and a dust explosion hazard. [ccohs.ca]

Prevention and screening of individuals at risk is important. [dovemed.com]
