Abstract:
Long-term inhalation of silica dust can cause silicosis, but also may induce autoimmune diseases, such as systemic sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjogren's syndrome, anti-histidyl tRNA synthetase antibody (JO-1 antibody) syndrome. These two diseases can be isolated or combined. In this paper, the clinical characteristics of 5 cases of silicosis complicated with connective tissue diseases were analyzed and summarized to strengthen the clinical understanding of silicosis complicated with connective tissue diseases, so as to reduce its misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis, and provide reference for clinicians in diagnosis and treatment.
