Abstract

          Silicosis is an occasional occupational lung disease in Thailand. Because symptoms and signs of this disease are similar to asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, careful history taking for noxious exposure and occupational environment are very important to diagnosis. Tissue biopsy is rarely necessary if exposure history and specific pattern of radiographic findings are confirmed. Environmental investigation for early diagnosis and prevention is necessary for effective disease. This report is a case of Silicosis that was diagnosed at Maharat Nakhon Ratchasima Hospital and literature review.
