Accelerated silicosis and silico‐tuberculosis: A difficult diagnosis
View through CrossRef
AbstractIt is well established that exposure to respirable crystalline silica is associated with higher mortality. Such exposures are associated with an increased risk of silico‐tuberculosis, silicosis, and other respiratory morbidities. We report two cases of accelerated silicosis, complicated with pulmonary tuberculosis and pulmonary infection.
