A 55-year-old carpenter developed pleurisy with pleural effusion on the right side in 2000 and on the left side in 2003. No known causes of pleurisy were found. He had been occupationally exposed to asbestos during a 6-month-period in 1971 while working with roof sheets made of asbestos cement. In the literature there is evidence of asbestos being a cause of benign pleural effusion. We found it likely that the pleurisy with pleural effusion found in this patient was an occupational condition and it should therefore be notified as industrial injury.
一名55岁的木匠于2000年右侧出现伴有胸腔积液的胸膜炎，2003年左侧出现同样情况。未发现已知的胸膜炎病因。1971年，他在使用石棉水泥制成的屋面板工作期间，有过6个月的石棉职业暴露史。文献中有证据表明石棉可导致良性胸腔积液。我们认为该患者出现的伴有胸腔积液的胸膜炎很可能是一种职业性疾病，因此应作为工伤进行报告。
