Acute pulmonary exposures to iron compounds are associated with kidney and liver damage. Altered respiratory rates and convulsions are among the neurological effects. Roentgenological changes in the lungs, referred to as siderosis, iron or hematite pneumoconiosis, or arc welders lung occur following inhalation of iron oxide fumes. These changes are similar to those seen in silicosis or miliary tuberculosis.

Two major pulmonary tuberculosis diseases namely, Cavitary and Miliary tuberculosis of the lungs are addressed in this work. Cavities are gas-filled spaces within a nodule nearly spherical in shape, which are of the diameter of 1 cm to 6 cm. They mostly invade the upper lobes of the lung since they are highly oxygenated [4]. Cavitary TBs are reactivation TBs that can be labeled by its wall thickness, which helps the physician to differentiate between malignant and benign cavities.
