011Silicosis (Chronic)Pneumoconiosis~2.3 million workers exposed (US); millions globallyAcquired (crystalline silica dust inhalation - mining, quarrying, sandblasting, stonework)N/AN/AProgressive dyspnea, dry cough, chest tightness, fatigue; nodular fibrosis on CXR (eggshell hilar calcifications), accelerated decline with PMF10-30 yr after exposure (adults)Occupational history, CXR/HRCT (ILO classification), PFTs (restrictive), bronchoscopy if neededNo cure; remove exposure, bronchodilators, oxygen, lung transplant for advanced; screen for TBNoJ62.8N/ARespiratorySevereReduced (PMF, TB, lung cancer risk)
022Acute Silicosis (Silicoproteinosis)PneumoconiosisRare; very high silica exposure (sandblasters, drillers)Acquired (massive crystalline silica inhalation)N/AN/ARapidly progressive dyspnea over weeks-months, cough, weight loss, hypoxemia, alveolar proteinosis patternMonths to <5 yr after intense exposureHRCT (crazy paving), BAL (PAS-positive material), occupational historyWhole-lung lavage, supportive O2, lung transplant; remove from exposureNoJ62.8N/ARespiratorySevereReduced (often fatal within years)
033AsbestosisPneumoconiosis~125 million workers exposed historicallyAcquired (asbestos fiber inhalation - mining, insulation, shipyards, construction)N/AN/AInsidious dyspnea on exertion, dry cough, bibasilar inspiratory crackles, clubbing, restrictive PFTs20-40 yr latency (adults)Occupational history, CXR/HRCT (subpleural reticular fibrosis, pleural plaques), PFTs, BAL ferruginous bodiesSupportive (oxygen, vaccines, smoking cessation), pulmonary rehab; lung transplant rare; surveillance for cancerNoJ61N/ARespiratorySevereReduced (mesothelioma/lung cancer risk)
044Coal Workers' Pneumoconiosis (Black Lung)Pneumoconiosis~10% of US coal miners with >25 yr undergroundAcquired (coal mine dust inhalation)N/AN/ASimple CWP often asymptomatic; complicated (PMF): dyspnea, melanoptysis, cor pulmonale, restrictive/obstructive PFTs15-20 yr after exposureOccupational history, CXR (small rounded opacities, ILO classification), HRCT, PFTsNo specific treatment; remove from exposure, smoking cessation, bronchodilators/O2, federal black lung benefitsNoJ60N/ARespiratoryVariableReduced (PMF, TB risk)
055Berylliosis (Chronic Beryllium Disease)Pneumoconiosis~1-15% of beryllium-exposed workers (sensitized)Acquired (beryllium inhalation - aerospace, nuclear, ceramics, electronics)Host: HLA-DPB1 (Glu69) marked susceptibility6p21.32Dyspnea on exertion, dry cough, fatigue, weight loss, granulomatous lung disease (sarcoid-like), skin granulomasMonths to decades after exposureBeryllium lymphocyte proliferation test (BeLPT), HRCT, transbronchial biopsy (non-caseating granulomas)Corticosteroids, methotrexate, infliximab; remove from exposure, oxygenNoJ63.2N/ARespiratory/MultisystemSevereVariable
