| dc.description.abstract | Silicosis is a well-known fibrogenic lung disease which is probably one of the most ancient occupational illness. Silicosis is a prevalent disease currently without specific treatment. So, a preventive strategy is always the best option. An effective silicosis preventive strategy should be based on the primary and secondary prevention approaches. Despite all efforts to prevent it, silicosis is widely spread in most parts of the world and millions of workers continue to be exposed to noxious dusts running a high risk of developing silicosis and other pneumoconioses. In some cases like Portugal, silicosis is present in particular regions of the country. Silicosis is a prevalent disease currently without specific treatment. Among the potential complications is tuberculosis, for which silicotic patients may have a risk up to 40 times higher than that of the general population. This work will give a perspective of this disease from Portugal to the world. | pt_PT |
