"Fièvre des fondeurs" (et son synonyme moins fréquent "maladie des fondeurs") est la seule expression que l'on retrouve dans les ouvrages spécialisés unilingues. C'est une expression générique qui correspond en fait à "metal fume fever", mais comme elle désigne une affection observée chez les fondeurs de laiton, elle peut servir à rendre la notion qui nous occupe sur cette fiche. 2, record 1, French, - maladie%20des%20fondeurs%20de%20laiton
