title: Asbestosis and systemic lupus erythematosus.
abstract: A case associating asbestosis and clinical lupus erythematosus (SLE), both diagnosed according to standard criteria, is described. It is suggested that such an association may bear some analogy to the well-known 'Caplan-Collinet' syndrome, associating silicosis and rheumatoid arthritis.
