Some such dusts are there is diffuse, left-sided pleural thickening (broken biologically inert but visible on a chest X-ray or CT scan; thus, while arrow), characteristic too of heavy asbestos exposure they are radiologically alarming they do not give rise to either clinical disease or deficits in pulmonary function. Others – notably asbestos and crystalline silica – are fibrogenic so that the damage they cause is through the fibrosis induced by the inhaled dust rather than the dust itself. Classically these give rise to characteristic radiological patterns and restrictive deficits in lung function with reductions in diffusion capacity; importantly, they may progress long after exposure to the causative mineral has finished. In the UK and similar countries asbestosis is the commonest form of pneumoconiosis but in less developed parts of the world asbestosis is less frequent than silicosis; these two types are discussed in detail below. Other, rarer types of pneumoconiosis include stannosis (from tin fume), siderosis (iron), berylliosis (beryllium), hard metal disease (cobalt) and coal worker’s pneumoconiosis.

BMC Pulmonary Medicine (2019) 19:6 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12890-018-0776-4 CASEREPORT Open Access Progressive plasterer’s pneumoconiosis complicated by fibrotic interstitial pneumonia: a case report Fumio Kurosaki1,2*, Tamiko Takemura3, Masashi Bando1, Tomonori Kuroki1,2, Toshio Numao2, Hiroshi Moriyama4 and Koichi Hagiwara1 Abstract Background: Although the prevalence of pneumoconiosis has been decreasing due to improvements in working conditions and regular health examinations, occupational hygiene measures are still being established. Plasterers encounter a number of hazardous materials that may be inhaled in the absence of sufficient protection. Case presentation: A 64-year-old man who plastered without any dust protection for more than 40 years was referred to our hospital with suspected interstitial pneumonia. Mixed dust pneumoconiosis and an unusual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) pattern with fibroblastic foci were diagnosed by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, and an elemental analysis detected elements included in plaster work materials. Despite the cessation of plaster work and administration of nintedanib, the patient developed advanced respiratory failure. Conclusion: Plasterers are at an increased risk of pneumoconiosis and may have a poor prognosis when complicated by the UIP pattern. Thorough dust protection and careful monitoring are needed.

Scott Laney, PhDa aRespiratory Health Division, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Morgantown, West Virginia, USA bSchool of Public Health, University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, Illinois, USA Data from the United States Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) registry have been analyzed in recent years to assess post–lung transplant (LT) survival in occupational lung disease patients.1–3 Registry data include diagnosis codes with limited specificity; each patient is assigned a diagnosis code at waitlist candidacy, at listing, and at LT, and these codes can differ. The use of both numeric and free-text data can produce incompatible or unlikely diagnosis code pairings (such as a numeric code for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis with a paired free-text entry of “silicosis”). The resulting misclassification could bias findings related to patient characteristics, post-LT survival comparisons and other measures used to summarize outcomes. Diagnosis codes from OPTN data could be inadequate for case finding and may result in missed occupational lung disease cases. Our objective was to identify and describe adult LT recipients documented as having conditions known to be entirely attributable to occupational exposure, and to calculate the proportion of those patients who were assigned an occupational lung disease diagnosis code at LT.

    Artigo Original Broncoscopia no diagnóstico de tuberculose pulmonar em pacientes com baciloscopia de escarro negativa* Bronchoscopy for the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis in patients with negative sputum smear microscopy results Márcia Jacomelli, Priscila Regina Alves Araújo Silva, Ascedio Jose Rodrigues, Sergio Eduardo Demarzo, Márcia Seicento, Viviane Rossi Figueiredo Resumo Objetivo: Avaliar a acurácia diagnóstica da broncoscopia em pacientes com suspeita clínica ou radiológica de tuberculose, com baciloscopia negativa ou incapazes de produzir escarro. Métodos: Estudo transversal prospectivo de 286 pacientes com suspeita clínica/radiológica de tuberculose pulmonar e submetidos à broncoscopia — LBA e biópsia transbrônquica (BTB). As amostras de LBA foram testadas por pesquisas diretas e culturas de BAAR e de fungos, e as de BTB por exame histopatológico. Resultados: Dos 286 pacientes estudados, a broncoscopia contribuiu para o diagnóstico em 225 (79%): tuberculose pulmonar em 127 (44%); inflamações crônicas inespecíficas em 51 (18%); pneumocistose, infecções fúngicas ou nocardiose em 20 (7%); bronquiolite obliterante com pneumonia em organização, alveolites ou pneumoconioses em 14 (5%); neoplasias pulmonares ou metastáticas em 7 (2%); e micobacterioses não tuberculosas em 6 (2%). Para o diagnóstico de tuberculose, o LBA mostrou sensibilidade e especificidade de 60% e 100% respectivamente, havendo um aumento importante da sensibilidade quando associado à biópsia (84%) e à baciloscopia após a broncoscopia (94%). Complicações controláveis decorrentes do procedimento ocorreram em 5,6% dos casos. Conclusões: A broncoscopia representa um método diagnóstico confiável para pacientes com tuberculose pulmonar, apresentando baixos índices de complicações. A associação de biópsia transbrônquica ao lavado broncoalveolar elevou a sensibilidade diagnóstica do método e permitiu o diagnóstico diferencial com outras doenças.

University Claude Bernard Lyon I, University of Lyon, Lyon, France Semin Respir Crit Care Med 2012;33:462–475. Abstract Organizing pneumonia (OP) is a pathological pattern defined by the characteristic presence of buds of granulation tissue within the lumen of distal pulmonary airspaces consisting of fibroblasts and myofibroblasts intermixed with loose connective matrix. This pattern is the hallmark of a clinical pathological entity, namely cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP) when no cause or etiologic context is found. The process of intraalveolar organization results from a sequence of alveolar injury, alveolar deposition of fibrin, and colonization of fibrin with proliferating fibroblasts. A tremen- dous challenge for research is represented by the analysis of features that differentiate the reversible process of OP from that of fibroblastic foci driving irreversible fibrosis in usual interstitial pneumonia because they may determine the different outcomes of COP and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), respectively. Three main imaging patterns of COP have been described: (1) multiple patchy alveolar opacities (typical pattern), (2) solitary focal nodule or mass (focal pattern), and (3) diffuse infiltrative opacities, although several other uncommon patterns have been reported, especially the reversed halo sign (atoll sign).
