TY - JOUR AU - Iossifova, Yulia AU - Bailey, Rachel AU - Wood, John AU - Kreiss, Kathleen T1 - Concurrent Silicosis and Pulmonary Mycosis at Death T2 - Emerging Infectious Disease journal PY - 2010 VL - 16 IS - 2 SP - 318 SN - 1080-6059 AB - To examine risk for mycosis among persons with silicosis, we examined US mortality data for 1979–2004. Persons with silicosis were more likely to die with pulmonary mycosis than were those without pneumoconiosis or those with more common pneumoconioses. Health professionals should consider enhanced risk for mycosis for silica-exposed patients.
