Which is an intracellular aerobic bacillus characterized, by the formation of granulomas in tissues.1 According to data from the World Health Organization (WHO), TB is essentially a pulmonary disease that represents 85% of the cases, although it can also affect other organs and tissues (extra pulmonary TB [EPTB]). The mechanism of transmission is through the air when a person suffering from pulmonary TB (PTB) expels the bacteria, through productive cough; although, there is a relatively low relation that a person infected with M. tuberculosis develops TB. The probability of developing TB is much higher in patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or some other co morbidities such as diabetes.2 There are other forms of transmission or acquisition of the disease, one of them can be trough the skin.3 According to WHO data, TB is the second cause of mortality around the world after acquired human immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) due to an infectious agent. In 2013, nine million people became ill with TB and 1.5 million died of this disease. More than 95% of TB deaths occurred in lowincome countries and medium income, is one of the five main causes of death in women between 15 and 44 years. In 2013 it is estimated that 550,000 children became ill with TB and that 80,000 seronegative children died. It is the main cause of death in people infected with HIV, a quarter of them is related to TB. An estimated 480,000 people have developed Multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) and, which would cause 170,000 deaths associated with MDR-TB worldwide.2","PeriodicalId":91750,"journal":{"name":"Journal of lung, pulmonary & respiratory research","volume":"1 1","pages":"158-162"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79837750","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nevertheless, in 2000, the CAREX registry recorded 3.2 million silica-exposed people in the European Union.3 Silicosis is histologically characterized by hyalinized and fibrotic pulmonary nodules, accumulation of lymphocytes and alveolar macrophages, and thickening of pulmonary alveolar interstitium.4 The disease is caused by continuous inhalation of the silica dust (crystalline silica, SiO2 (Silicon dioxide)) with marked inflammation and irreversible scarring of the lungs with nodules in the upper lobes.5,6 Oxygen and silicon, together amount for 74.32% weight and 83.77% of crustal rocks are the two most occurring common elements on the surface of the earth.7 Silicon dioxide or silica is formed under the conditions of increased pressure and heat that exists in amorphous and crystalline (quartz, a typical component of rocks) form. The risk of developing silicosis is closely associated with the accumulated exposure of a person to respirable crystalline silica during his or her working lifetime. The intensity of accumulated respirable silica exposure can be calculated as the following: Accumulated silica dose = fraction of respirable dust X percentage of free silica in mg/m3 X number of years of exposure.8 Silicosis is the most frequently occurring pneumoconiosis due to wide prevalence in the atmosphere and more common than the other types of dust.1,9,10 Both in Developing and developed world, silicosis is an occupational hazard with greater risk for workers engaged in stone crushing, stone cutting, cement industries, glass manufacturing, mining, agriculture, and construction.
