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.

個人的にはじん肺合併のアスペルギローマは1、2例経験したような気がします。じん肺の合併症としての気管支拡張症、その合併症として、菌球症って、あっても良いと思います。
