Cork workers are susceptible to suberosis from breathing in cork dust.

Suberosis also known as Corkhandler disease or Corkworker lung is a type of hypersensitivity pneumonitis usually caused by the fungus Penicillium glabrum (formerly called Penicillum frequentans) from exposure to moldy cork dust.^[1]^[2] Chrysonilia sitophilia, Aspergillus fumigatus, uncontaminated cork dust, and Mucor macedo may also have significant roles in the pathogenesis of the disease.^[1]

Background[edit]

Cork is often harvested from the cork oak (Quercus suber) and stored in slabs in a hot and humid environment until covered in mold.^[1] Cork workers may be exposed to organic dusts in this process, leading to this disease.^[1]

History[edit]

Vinte-e-Um Mendes first reported respiratory disease in Portuguese cork workers in 1947 at the Portuguese Medical Reunion.^[1] Cancella d'Abreu first described the disease in 1955.^[2]

Suberosis is a type of hypersensitivity pneumonitis caused by exposure to cork proteins and molds such as Aspergillus fumigatus and Penicillium frequentans. We present the case of a man with suberosis caused by Mucor species, a mold that has been rarely reported to cause hypersensitivity pneumonitis
