Several occupational hazards especially exposure to silica have been implicated as causal factors for the development of scleroderma-like disorders. Many case reports have documented the co-existence of silicosis and progressive systemic sclerosis in the same patient, mostly from European countries and also from Japan and the United States. We report a case of a 26-year-old male involved in stone masonry who developed silicosis-induced diffuse parenchymal lung disease and systemic sclerosis after exposure to silica dust. To our knowledge, it is the second case to be reported from India.
几种职业危害因素,尤其是接触二氧化硅,已被认为是硬皮病样疾病发生的致病因素。许多病例报告记录了同一患者同时存在矽肺和进行性系统性硬化症,这些病例大多来自欧洲国家,也有来自日本和美国的。我们报告一例26岁从事石匠工作的男性病例,该患者在接触二氧化硅粉尘后患上了矽肺引起的弥漫性实质性肺疾病和系统性硬化症。据我们所知,这是印度报告的第二例此类病例。
