Asbestosis Requiring Lung Transplantation in a Retired Hairdresser: An Occupational Exposure to Comb Through [PDF]

Respirology Case Reports
Asbestosis is a form of fibrotic interstitial lung disease caused by the inhalation of excessive asbestos fibres. We describe a patient who developed asbestosis due to occupational exposures while working as a hairdresser in the 1970s and 1980s.
