Occupational Lung Diseases
  1. Occupational asthma
    1. caused by irritants & chemicals
      1. symptoms(sx) just like other asthma
      2. Industrial Bronchitis
        1. Identical symptoms to chronic bronchitis seen with cigarette smoking
          1. Coal workers & Grain workers
          2. Allergic alveolitis
            1. alveolar and bronchiolar level
              1. Hypersensitivity reaction
                1. Causes

                            2. Diagnosis
                              1. Chest Xray
                                1. Pft test should be done to confirm the diagnosis
                                2. Treatment
                                  1. Wearing of mask(PPE)

                                      1. reduce inflammation

                                      1. accumulation of dust in the lungs and the tissue reactions to its presence
                                        1. tissue reaction may be non-collagenous( minimal stromal reaction) or collagenous(when scarring is permanent)
                                          1. Characterised by fibrosis & caused by chronic inhalation of mineral dusts
                                            1. lungs cannot expand- dyspnea
                                            2. Sign & Symptoms
