The Case for Autoantibody Screening in Stone Benchtop Workers. [PDF]
Respirol Case RepWe present the case of a 40‐year‐old stone benchtop worker who was diagnosed with complicated silicosis on screening, with early ANA positivity preceding the development of progressive multisystem autoimmune disease and respiratory decline. This case underscores the potential for silica exposure to trigger severe autoimmune disease in addition to ...
