“…Manganic Pneumopathies Certain writers (Brezina, 1921 ;Bubarev, 1931Baader, 1932Buttner and Lenz, 1937;and Jotten, 1942) have described pneumonia caused by manganese, and, from the experimental point of view, the remarkable investigations of Lloyd Davies (1946) have defined the role played by manganese in pneumonia.…”

“…23,24,36,38,39,41,42,47 In addition, harbor workers loading manganese ore were noted to have an increased incidence of pneumonia, documented in two nearly simultaneous reports half a world apart. 38,47 In another study, Baader, 48 in addition to emphasizing the neurotoxicological manifestations of manganese among German battery factory workers, also noted an increased occurrence of severe pneumonias from this metal. In subsequent reviews of the topic, Büttner 49,50 described the occupational manganese exposure in Germany in 14 mines, 6 ferromanganese mills, and 55 battery factories.…”

The objectives of this study are to elucidate the early history of risk for pneumococcal pneumonia from occupational exposure to metal fumes and dusts, and to demonstrate the importance of searching older literature when performing reviews. We performed manual searching for articles in the Library of the Surgeon General's Office (the precursor to Index Medicus), in the Hathi Trust database, in PubMed, andby screening reference lists in literature appearing before the introduction of PubMed. An early body of literature, from the 1890s onward, recognized that pneumonia was linked to "Thomas slag," a steel industry byproduct containing iron, manganese, and lime. Researchers, mainly in Germany, showed that workers in metal-dust-exposed occupations, especially using manganese, manifested an increased incidence of pneumococcal pneumonia. An outbreak of pneumococcal pneumonia in the 1930s implicated manganese fume in its etiology. In the immediate post-World War II period, there was a brief flurry of interest in pneumonia from exposure to potassium permanganate that was soon dismissed as a chemical pneumonitis. After a hiatus of two decades, epidemiologic investigations drew attention to the pneumonia risks of welding and related metal fume exposure, bringing renewed interest to the forgotten role of pneumococcal pneumonia as an occupational disease. Occupational or environmental inhalation of manganese, iron, or irritants may be causally related to increased pneumococcal pneumonia risk. In particular, the risk associated with manganese seems to be overlooked in recent literature. An important conclusion is the importance of obtaining additional evidence through a deeper assessment of the literature in a broad historical context.

“…In 1936, 26 cases were reported by Nazif and 11 cases by Scander and Sallam. Three years later Baader (1939) reported another five cases of manganese poisoning. Abdel Naby and Has-sanein (1963;1965) reported 32 cases and 13 cases of chronic manganese poisoning, respectively.…”
