Silicosis is a common occupational disease worldwide. It is caused by the inhalation of crystalline silicon dioxide, i.e. silica. Quartz is a common form of silica and occurs in sandstone and granite. Occupational exposure can occur e.g. in mining, quarrying and sandblasting. The inhaled silica triggers an inflammatory response when phagocytosed which eventually causes fibrosis. We present a 45-year-old male Danish sandblaster who developed silicosis, and due to rapid decline in lung function received a lung transplant with an excellent result.
矽肺是一种全球常见的职业病。它由吸入结晶二氧化硅，即硅石引起。石英是硅石的常见形式，存在于砂岩和花岗岩中。职业暴露可发生在采矿、采石和喷砂等行业。吸入的硅石被吞噬细胞吞噬后会引发炎症反应，最终导致纤维化。我们报告一名45岁的丹麦男性喷砂工人，他患上了矽肺，由于肺功能迅速下降接受了肺移植，结果良好。
