| Abstrakt: |
Silicosis is an occupational respiratory disease caused by inhaling respirable crystalline silica dust. We report the case of silicosis in a 50-year-old woman that presented with pulmonary fibrosis and later developed pulmonary tuberculosis. Her condition is believed to be due to inhalation of dust produced by scrubbing a silica rich surface during usual daily housework. |
