Pluthisis

Post by antonywalmsley » 30 Mar 2005 23:04

Does anyone know what 'Pluthisis' is as a cause of death? I can only find one reference on google and that doesn't tell what it is, only that someone died of it.

It may be connected to coal mining in some  way. May be a lung disease?

It couldn't be a printing or written mistake could it? I mean, could it be 'Phthisis' or TB nowadays.

Thanks Vliet. You're spot on. What I thought was 'lu' is really 'h'.
