AbstractThe purpose of this commentary is to bring the neglected phenomenon of subradiological silicosis and its implications to the attention of readers. We define subradiological silicosis as silicosis detectable on pathological examination of lung tissue but not visible radiologically.

Tubercle, 1934
Summary (1) The essential agent in the causation of true or ‘classical’ silicosis, as distinguished from non-specific pneumoconiosis, is the freshly-cloven silica particle. (2) The pathological process basically consists in the hydration of the silica particle at the expense of the cell protoplasm.

Despite the common perception that "black lung" has been relegated to the dustbin of history, silicosis remains a crucial public health problem that threatens millions of people around the world. This painful and incurable chronic disease, still present in old industrial regions, is now expanding rapidly in emerging economies around the globe.

Chest, 1979
Two subjects had silicosis complicated by tuberculosis. In both patients, there was a relapse of the tuberculosis after chemotherapy was discontinued, in one case after 13 years of therapy with isoniazid and p-aminosalicylic acid. It would appear that the risk of tuberculosis in subjects with silicosis persists for life, and the suggestion is made that

Surgical Pathology Clinics
Although silicosis has been an established disease with a recognized cause for more than 100 years, many workers continue to be exposed to silica and new outbreaks of disease continue to occur. This article describes some of the well-established and new exposures, including denim sandblasting, artificial stone cutting, and some forms of "coal worker's ...

SILICOSIS AND SILICOTUBERCULOSIS
Journal of the American Medical Association, 1938Within the past few years extensive investigation of the harmful effects of dusts and the comparatively recent recognition of silicosis as a true occupational disease have stimulated the interest of physicians and industrialists toward this important and interesting problem.

BMJ, 1937 Denim production and silicosis
Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 2016Silicosis because of denim sandblasting emerged as a new cause of silicosis in Turkey in the mid-2000s, and the following years have brought new cases constituting an epidemic with fatal outcomes. Because silicosis is a preventable disease, all efforts should be focused on preventing exposure to crystalline silica and thus development of the disease ...
