To examine risk for mycosis among persons with silicosis, we examined US mortality data for 1979-2004. Persons with silicosis were more likely to die with pulmonary mycosis than were those without pneumoconiosis or those with more common pneumoconioses. Health professionals should consider enhanced risk for mycosis for silica-exposed patients.
为了研究矽肺患者发生真菌感染的风险,我们分析了 1979 年至 2004 年美国的死亡率数据。与没有患尘肺病或患有更常见尘肺病的人相比,患有矽肺的人因肺部真菌感染而死亡的可能性更高。卫生保健专业人员应考虑矽肺患者存在真菌感染风险增加的情况。
