Diagnosis is primarily anecdotal, that is, it depends upon a good occupational history. Diagnosis of<unk>  can be easily missed because the complaints are non-specific, resemble a number of other common illnesses, and presentation occurs typically 2–10 hours after the exposure. When respiratory symptoms are prominent,<unk>  may be confused with acute bronchitis or pneumonia. The diagnosis is based primarily upon a history of exposure to<unk>  oxide<unk> s. Cain and Fletcher (2010) report a case of<unk>  that was diagnosed only by taking a full occupational history and by close collaboration between primary and secondary health care personnel. Physical symptoms vary among persons exposed, depending largely upon the stage in the course of the syndrome during which examination occurs. Patients may present with wheezing or crackles in the lungs. They typically have an increased white blood cell count, and urine, blood plasma and skin zinc levels may (unsurprisingly) be elevated. Chest X-ray abnormalities may also be present. An interesting feature of<unk>  involves rapid adaptation to the development of the syndrome following repeated<unk>  oxide exposure. Workers with a history of recurrent<unk>  often develop a tolerance to the<unk> s. This tolerance, however, is transient, and only persists through the work week. After a weekend hiatus, the tolerance has usually disappeared. This phenomenon of tolerance is what led to the name "Monday Fever". In 2018, there were 259 cases of<unk>  reported to the United States Poison Control Center.
