Sidero-Silico Tuberculosis in a Foundry Employee

L. E. HAMLIN M.D.1

1 Medical Director, American Brake Shoe Company, Chicago, Illinois.

Clinical, roentgenological, and pathological findings together with industrial hygiene studies demonstrating exposure to dust in a foundry employee afflicted with sidero-silico-tuberculosis, are presented.

The data show the need for accurate appraisal of abnormal shadows in the chest roentgenograms of industrial workers in such environments in contrast to those of individuals in other walks of life.

The findings also demonstrate the value of exploratory surgical intervention in conjunction with other recognized procedures in establishing a precise diagnosis.
