Asbestosis?,”Asbestosis is a pneumoconiosis resulting from inhalation of particles involved in many industrial processes. Progressive dyspnea, clubbing, and end-respiratory crackles are typical signs and symptoms. Pulmonary function tests show a restrictive lung disease pattern with decreased lung volume, decreased diffusion lung capacity
and a normal FEV1/FVC ratio. Pleural plaques on imaging are the hallmark of asbestosis.”
