Silicotuberculosis and silicosis as occupational diseases: Report of two cases [PDF]

Srpski Arhiv Za Celokupno Lekarstvo, 2011
Introduction. Silicosis, the most prevalent of the pneumoconioses, is caused by inhalation of crystalline silica particles. Silica-exposed workers are at increased risk for tuberculosis and other mycobacterium-related diseases.

Determining Thresholds for Computer-Aided Detection for Silicosis-An Analytic Approach. [PDF]

Am J Ind Med
ABSTRACT Background Computer‐aided detection (CAD) is emerging as an adjunct to the use of the chest X‐ray (CXR) in screening for pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). CAD for silicosis, a fibrotic lung disease due to silica dust and a strong risk factor for TB, is at an earlier stage of development and, unlike TB, depends on expert human reading for validation.

Unveiling Risk Factors in a Patient with Silicotuberculosis: A Case Report

Jurnal Respirasi
Introduction: Silicosis, an occupational lung disease caused by crystalline silica dust, is often complicated by tuberculosis (TB). The epidemiological triad suggests disease results from imbalanced interactions between the host, agent, and environment.
