摘要

过去十年来，人造石（AS）导致的矽肺病已成为一个日益严重的全球性问题。我们报告了首批八例英国病例。所有病例均为男性；年龄中位数为 34 岁（27-56 岁不等），接触石粉的时间中位数为 12.5 年（4-40 年不等），但其中 4 例的接触时间为 4-8 年。其中一人已经去世，两人被转诊接受肺移植评估。所有病例都是在安全措施不足的情况下对 AS 台面进行干式切割和抛光。矽肺病的临床特征与肉样瘤病非常相似。英国的病例很可能会增加，需要采取紧急行动来确定病例并执行相关法规。

Artificial stone silicosis: a UK case series.

Silicosis due to artificial stone (AS) has emerged over the last decade as an increasing global issue. We report the first eight UK cases. All were men; median age was 34 years (range 27-56) and median stone dust exposure was 12.5 years (range 4-40) but in 4 cases was 4-8 years. One is deceased; two were referred for lung transplant assessment. All cases were dry cutting and polishing AS worktops with inadequate safety measures. Clinical features of silicosis can closely mimic sarcoidosis. UK cases are likely to increase, with urgent action needed to identify cases and enforce regulations.
