Resumen
Se estudia la incidencia de cuerpos ferruginosos en pulmón en 100 autopsias consecutivas. La técnica aplicada ha consistido en digestión química y filtración a través de una membrana Nucleopore, descubriéndose cuerpos ferruginosos en 99 de las 100 autopsias. Se comparan estos resultados con los descritos en estudios similares fuera de España, y se discute su importancia en función de la contaminación ambiental y sus efectos sobre la población urbana.
Summary
The authors study the incidence of ferruginous bodies in the lung in 100 consecutive autopsies. The technique applied consisted in chemical digestion and filtration through a Nucleopore membrane, discovering ferruginous bodies in 99 of 100 autopsies. The authors compare these results with those described in similar studies from outside Spain. Finally they discuss their importance in function of environmental pollution and its effects on urban population.
