Abstract
Despite the onset of epidemic stabilization of tuberculosis in Russia in recent years, the situation is still extremely unfavorable. Diagnosis of the disease at a late stage, untimely treatment lead to a deterioration in the prognosis of survival of patients. As you know, silicosis is often complicated by the addition of tuberculosis infection, while there is still no clear idea about late silicotuberculosis, as well as the generally accepted classification.
The aim of the study was to explore the incidence of tuberculosis in patients with late silicosis.
Over the years, 172 patients with suspected silicosis have been monitored. A group of 38 people who developed late silicosis was selected from them. Patients worked in professions where silicosis most often develops from inhaling dust containing free silicon dioxide more than 10%, with a work experience of 6 to 15 years.
The analysis of the data obtained showed that tuberculosis infection joins after 4-12 years in patients with late silicosis in almost 40% of cases. Patients with mixed pathology rarely secrete Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
