Abstract

Caplan's syndotne is characterized by presence of se-ropositive rheumatoid arthritis associated with a par¬ticular from of pneumoconiosis. This form consists of multiple, homogeneous, well defined and rounded opaci¬ties on chest x-ray. Mineworkers in anthracite coal mines and persons exposed to silica and asbestos can have this syndrome. Genetic factors have a major role in the development of the disease by influencing immu-nological reactivity of the organism exposed to various antigens. In accordance with the rewieved literature, this kind of patients who had previous mine working his¬tory and pneumoconiosis should be closely monitored for the early diagnosis and treatment of collagen vas¬cular disease.

Özet

Seropozitif romatoid artrit'in pnömokonyoz ile birlikte seyretmesine Çaplan Sendromu denir. Çaplan nodülleri akciğer grafilerinde multipl, homojen, yuvarlak, düzgün sınırlı opasiteler şeklinde görülür. Bu sendroma kömür madeni işçileri yanısıra silika ve asbestoza maruz kalan kişilerde de rastlanır. Hastalığın gelişmesinde organizmanın çeşitli antijenlere karşı gösterdiği immünolojik reaksiyon ile beraber genetik faktörler önemli rol oynar. İlgili literatür ile beraber değerlendirildiğinde bu Çaplan sendromu olgusunda da görüldüğü gibi özellikle daha öncesine ait madenlerde çalışma öyküsü olan ve pnömokonyozu bulunan hastaların kollajen doku hastalığı gelişimi yönünden daha yakından izlenmelerinin, erkenden tanı konularak tedavinin başlaması açısından faydalı olabileceği düşünüldü.
