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.

Detection and Management of Beryllium-Induced Disease

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 & Nuclear Workers

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.

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.
