Beware of pneumoconiosis complications quickly

People who are prone to pneumoconiosis do not have special interference such as dust in their work or living environment. In ordinary times, they mainly smoke indirectly or directly, while smoking or being smoked indirectly, their frequency and concentration are quite large. Some smokers are mostly a few packs of cigarettes per day, and people who live or work together will inhale smoke continuously like smokers.

Because smoke uninterrupted accumulation, it will lead to the body's immune resistance long-term elimination, removal of foreign bodies in an active state, lung inflammation may continue. The high concentration of dust in the working environment is also equivalent to smoking, which constantly gathers dust in the lungs and causes inflammation. This is actually a complication, but this phenomenon is generally not called a complication.

In the repeated occurrence of inflammation, pneumothorax, tuberculosis, bronchial asthma, pleural mesothelioma, emphysema, pulmonary heart disease, pulmonary fibrosis, lung cancer and other obvious diseases, it is called complications. Complications such as pneumothorax and tuberculosis can occur at any time if you smoke directly or indirectly and do not leave the dust and other working environment.

The proportion of such complications is also quite high, such as silicosis patients, more likely than the average person to suffer from tuberculosis; if it is indirect or direct smoking pneumoconiosis patients, or asbestos workers, that is, asbestosis patients, it is easy to develop pleural mesothelioma, lung cancer, etc.; Patients with pneumoconiosis entering the late stage are easy to be complicated with pulmonary heart disease, obstructive emphysema, etc. because the airway becomes narrower and narrower, and the ventilation resistance increases. Therefore, once pneumoconiosis is found in the examination, it is necessary to actively treat and eliminate the cause to prevent complications.
