| Resumen |
Description of a typical case of asbestosis with mesothelioma of the visceral pleura, associated with silicosis and active tuberculosis, in a firebrick layer employed for 44 years in a firm constructing industrial furnaces. Enlarging on this particular case study the article continues with a general review of asbestos-induced disease: aetiology; anatomopathology; clinical aspects: benign pleural and pulmonary manifestations, malignant disease (pleural mesothelioma, broncho-pulmonary cancer); pathogenicity (hypotheses); diagnosis; statutory compensation. The authors emphasise the delayed effects of asbestos (prolonged latency period - 5 to 40 years - always exists between first exposure and onset of the disease), and the need for systematic screening of all exposed workers. |
