Isocyanates are examples of low molecular weight substances that induce asthma. These
compounds are found in spray paint & plastics. Insulation installer may be exposed to
asbestose, this would result in fibrosis rather than bronchospasm.

Although malignant mesothelioma is usually associated with a history of exposure to
asbestos, it is a relatively uncommon malignancy. In contrast, the risk of bronchogenic
carcinoma increases markedly with asbestos exposure ( 2-3 fold )

- The exudate, due to pneumococcal pneumonia has the same picture but contains
instead of lymphocytes, polymorphonuclear leucocytosis.
- The exudate due to asbestosis is due to development of mesothelioma and is
hemorrhagic & doesn't decreases the sugar content of the aspirate.
- In malignant lymphoma, the aspirate is the same as TB but the glucose level is not
affected.
