A disease or abnormal condition caused by the accumulation of dust-like particles in the blood.
From hemokonia (blood dust) + -osis (Greek -osis, condition or disease). This rare pathological term combines Greek roots to describe an inflammatory or degenerative blood condition related to particle accumulation, similar to silicosis in the lungs.
Hemokoniosis is one of those medical terms that sounds like it could be a serious disease but is so rare that most modern doctors have never encountered it or probably can't even pronounce it.
