The goal of the registry is to determine the incidence and prevalence of beryllium sensitization and chronic beryllium disease (CBD). The data will be analyzed to better understand CBD and to identify those at risk. Another goal is to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of DOE's Chronic Beryllium Disease Prevention Program.

An occupational granulomatous lung disorder caused by inhalation of beryllium dust or fumes, beryllium-induced disease has both acute and chronic pathologies. The acute form is now extremely rare. Chronic beryllium disease (CBD), by contrast, may affect as many as 16,000 individuals in the United States.

Chronic Beryllium Disease (CBD) or berylliosis is an incurable, allergic reaction to the element beryllium. Almost all cases of CBD are resultant from workplace exposure to beryllium dust, fumes, or vapor. Nuclear workers are at a high risk. Beryllium is used frequently in nuclear weapons production at Department of Energy Facilities.

In contrast, chronic beryllium disease occurs in work settings in which exposure to poorly soluble and persistent beryllium compounds predominate, such as beryllium metal, oxide, and hydroxide. Some of these physicochemical characteristics have been linked with exposure data and health outcome; others are still being prepared for publication. ...

Acute beryllium disease is a chemical pneumonitis causing diffuse parenchymal inflammatory infiltrates and nonspecific intra-alveolar edema. Acute beryllium disease is now rare because most industries have reduced exposure levels. Chronic beryllium disease continues to occur in industries that use beryllium and beryllium alloy. It differs from most pneumoconioses in that it …

We commend Seedahmed et al1 for their research letter published in CHEST (November 2023) that emphasizes the need to screen veterans with sarcoidosis for chronic beryllium disease (CBD). The authors found that < 1% of veterans with sarcoidosis had a beryllium lymphocyte proliferation test (BeLPT) ordered to rule out CBD. A recent study by the same group reported …

Detection of beryllium distinguishes the granulomas of chronic beryllium disease from other diseases, in particular sarcoidosis. The role of beryllium lymphocyte transformation tests is discussed. Chronic beryllium disease is steroid dependent and local excision of skin lesions appears to be curative.

The only way to really make a slam dunk diagnosis of chronic beryllium disease is to get a biopsy, a transbronchial biopsy. But even that's not 100 percent. But if you think about chronic beryllium disease especially early, it can be really patchy. Some parts of the lungs have granulomas, some parts don't.

Chronic beryllium disease is predominantly a pulmonary granulomatosis that was originally described in 1946. Symptoms usually include dyspnea and cough. Fever, anorexia, and weight loss are common. Skin lesions are the most common extrathoracic manifestation. Granulomatous hepatitis, hypercalcemia, and kidney stones can also occur.

Once you are exposed to beryllium, you carry a lifelong risk of developing beryllium sensitization or CBD, even if you had low exposures or you are no longer exposed. When people with beryllium sensitization undergo clinical evaluation to determine if they have CBD, between 10 – 100 percent of them are found to have a CBD diagnosis on their ...
