[Comparative characteristics of intrathoracic lymph node coniotuberculosis of occupational and non-occupational etiology].
263 patients with coniotuberculosis of the intrathoracic lymph nodes were compared clinically according to whether they were or not at 0ccupational risk of silicosis. Patients exposed to quartz dust had some special morphological picture of affected lymph nodes: periadenitis, dust caseosis and tubercula in the presence anthracosilicosis sclerosis. Silicotuberculous broncho-adenitis in silicosis patients is characterized by solitary lesions of the lymph nodes, bronchi, rare dissemination to the lungs. Coniotuberculous broncho-adenitis in elderly subjects arises in the result of occupation-unrelated accumulation in the lymph nodes of coal and quartz dust and runs chronically. Unless the disease is controlled early and actively, it may generalize and aggravate with perforation in the bronchi, vessels and esophagus. Profuse hemorrhage, caverns, atelectasis are also possible.
