Title Seasonal variation in the incidence of farmer's lung.
Bibliographic information Sep. 1980, Vol.9, No.3, p.219-220. 8 ref.
Abstract 78 consecutive cases were studied statistically. There was a highly significant cyclic trend, with the greatest incidence falling in late April. The reasons for the seasonal variation appear to be the nature of the disease, climatic conditions, and cattle-raising methods.
