Tuberculosis and silicosis: epidemiology, diagnosis and chemoprophylaxis.
Silicosis, the most prevalent of the pneumoconioses, is caused by inhalation of crystalline silica particles. Silica-exposed workers, with or without silicosis, are at increased risk for tuberculosis and nontuberculous mycobacteria-related diseases. The risk of a patient with silicosis developing tuberculosis is higher (2.8 to 39 times higher, depending on the severity of the silicosis) than th...
متن کاملPulmonary tuberculoma and miliary tuberculosis in silicosis.
Tuberculosis is a disease with protean manifestations. We present a case which was initially suspected as bronchogenic carcinoma with lymphangitic carcinomatosis, based on radiological appearance but later diagnosed as pulmonary tuberculoma with military tuberculosis and silicosis after thoracotomy and open lung biopsy. The patient was treated successfully with Antituberculosis Therapy (ATT). R...
متن کاملThe Association of Silicosis -4nd Carcinoma
With the exception of the pulmonary tumours occurring among the miners at Schneeberg and Joachimstal and described by Rostoski, Saupe and Schmorl (1) and by Pirchan and Sikl (2) , the rapidly accumulating literature on lung cancer has contained only isolated reports of carcinoma of the lung occurring in association with the various forms of pneumoconiosis. Since both these lesions are being rec...
متن کاملRetroperitoneal silicosis mimicking pancreatic carcinoma in an Alpine miner with chronic lung silicosis.
A miner, known to have had lung silicosis for 30 years, was investigated for abdominal pain. A retroperitoneal mass was found, in which histological examination showed an inflammatory reaction to silica.
متن کاملA chemoattractant cytokine associated with granulomas in tuberculosis and silicosis.
Chronic inflammation and granuloma formation are associated with mononuclear cell infiltrates and are characteristic pathologic responses in tuberculosis. To identify host cell genes involved in tuberculous pathology, we screened macrophage cDNA libraries for genes induced by mycobacterial infection. One gene isolated in this screen, osteopontin (also known as early T lymphocyte activation prot...
