Silicotuberculoses

The first subject presented a multicavitary lesion in the apex of the right lung, which subsequently evolved with fibrosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

On auscultation; fine crackles in bilateral upper and mid zones at the end of inspiration were present. Routine examination of blood and urine samples were normal except for raised erythrocyte sedimentation rate (40 mm/h). [annalsafrmed.org]

  • Chest Discomfort

    Ann Afr Med 2013;12:255-6 Sir, A 46-year-old man, working in a stone-cutting factory for last 14 years presented with a history of breathlessness, chest discomfort, dry cough, sweating, malaise, and loss of weight since September 2006. [annalsafrmed.org]

  • Chills

    She had no haemoptysis, fever, chills, chest pain, or weight loss. [doi.org]

  • Dyspnea

    As the disease progresses, airflow limitation occurs, manifested by dyspnea and cough. Eventually, cor pulmonale and respiratory failure develop. [emedicine.com]

    Among symptomatic patients, dyspnea is common but is usually severe only if there is progressive massive fibrosis. [ilo.org]

    Signs and symptoms include: Dyspnea (shortness of breath) exacerbated by exertion Cough, often persistent and sometimes severe Fatigue Tachypnea (rapid breathing) which is often labored, Loss of appetite and weight loss Chest pain Fever Gradual darkening [en.wikipedia.org]

  • Chronic Cough

    Workers with Silicosis may have following symptoms: Shortness of breath following physical exertion, severe and chronic cough, fatigue, loss of appetite, chest pains and fevers. [silicosis-injury-attorneys.com]

    Case report Section: A 76-year-old woman was initially admitted to the hospital on 9 November 2007 with a 2-week history of acute exacerbation of a chronic cough and dysphagia involving both solids and liquids. [doi.org]

    Chronic cough and exertional dyspnea (shortness of breath) are common findings. Radiographically, chronic simple silicosis reveals a profusion of small ( 10 mm in diameter) opacities, typically rounded, and predominating in the upper lung zones. [en.wikipedia.org]

    The details of the method of recruitment of the patients in the clinic have been explained elsewhere. [6] Inclusion criteria Patients above 15 years of age of both genders living in Shakarpur, having symptoms of chronic cough for more than 3 months and [lungindia.com]

  • Sputum Production

    In June 2009 (16 months later), the patient was admitted to the hospital for the third time because of a 10-day history of coughing, sputum production, dyspnoea, fever, and night sweats. [doi.org]

  • Cyanosis

    In the acute form, patients develop shortness of breath, fever, and cyanosis. In the chronic form patients, develop progressive shortness of breath. 502 Pneumoconiosis due to other silica or silicates convert 502 to ICD-10-CM [icd9data.com]

    He was dyspneic without cyanosis, clubbing, or lymphadenopathy. On auscultation; fine crackles in bilateral upper and mid zones at the end of inspiration were present. [annalsafrmed.org]

    It is a type of pneumoconiosis.Silicosis (particularly the acute form) is characterized by shortness of breath, cough, fever, and cyanosis (bluish skin). [en.wikipedia.org]

    Silicosis, which can take up to 15 years to develop and includes symptoms like shortness of breath, cough, fever, cyanosis (bluish skin) and frequent chest infections which lead to lung transplants and even death, can be caused by long-term exposure to [news.com.au]

  • Cognitive Impairment

    In a community-based cohort followed for 27 years, both restrictive and, to a lesser extent, obstructive lung disease were associated with greater risk of incident dementia and mild cognitive impairment. [ajrccm.atsjournals.org]

  • Cavitary Lesion

    Axial HRCT scan (C:-600, W: 1600) shows an irregular thick-walled cavitary lesion (arrow) in the upper lobe of right lung, suggestive of pulmonary tuberculosis. [ijri.org]

  • Pleural Exudate

    Occupational history, radiology (conventional chest radiography and computed tomography) and microbiology (identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in sputum and pleural exudate) are helpful for the correct diagnosis, which, in turn, is important [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

It should be emphasized that surgical treatments more aggressive than have been heretofore practiced can be employed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment is carried out anti silicotuberculosis of chemotherapy on the same principles as the treatment of tuberculosis. [medicalformat.com]

Occupational history, radiology (conventional chest radiography and computed tomography) and microbiology (identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in sputum and pleural exudate) are helpful for the correct diagnosis, which, in turn, is important for prognosis [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis depends on the stage of silicosis, tuberculosis, associated disorders. Any complications silicotuberculosis are factors aggravating the prognosis. All patients with silicosis should receive TB chemoprophylaxis. [medicalformat.com]

Patients have a poor prognosis and the disease rarely ha s a chance to become one of the chronic forms. Acute silicosis, is caused by a massive outpouring of protein debris and fluid into lung sacs. [silicosis-injury-attorneys.com]

Treatment and prognosis Treatment is to remove the exposure, although silicosis may progress despite removal from the dust environment. [radiopaedia.org]

In general, the prognosis is favourable. In our case, the patient’s occupational history and radiologic features helped with the diagnosis of silicosis, but the complications of silicosis are incompletely understood. [doi.org]

This pattern was present for both Alzheimer’s disease–related dementia and cerebrovascular disease etiologies, and persisted in analyses restricted to nonsmokers. [ajrccm.atsjournals.org]

If there is no progressive massive fibrosis and emphysema is present, then smoking plays a more significant role in the etiology of the emphysema and is often considered part of the etiology of the patient's disability. [web.archive.org]

Silicosis has as etiologic factor prolonged exposure to silica dust (sized between 3-5 microns), which causes progressive fibrosis. [pathologyatlas.ro]
