Abstract

Silicosis is a well-known occupational lung disease that was discovered by the ancient Greeks and Romans. In 2001, it has emerged again in an unexpected occupation: denim sandblasting. Exposure to crystalline silica, with or without clinical disease, is one of the most important predisposing factors for the development of tuberculosis; however, there has been no previous report of tuberculosis among cases of silicosis due to denim sandblasting. Herein, we report the fi rst case of a denim sandblaster with silicosis who developed both pulmonary tuberculosis and tuberculous meningitis.

Özet

Silikozis antik Yunan ve Romalılar tarafından keşfedilmiş iyi bilinen mesleksel bir akciğer hastalığıdır. 2001’de beklenmeyen bir şekilde tekrar ortaya çıktı: Kot kumlama. Silika kristallerine maruziyet, klinik hastalıkla birlikte veya birlikte olmadan, tüberküloz gelişiminde en önemli predispoze faktörlerden birisidir. Bununla beraber kot kumlamaya bağlı silikozis vakaları arasında daha önce tüberküloz gelişimi bildirilmemiştir. Bu noktada, hem tüberküloz menenjit hemde akciğer tüberkülozunun geliştiği silikozisli ilk kot kumlama vakasını bildirdik.
