0.01 sec.

Pulmonology A rare, fulminant respiratory complication of intense exposure to respirable silica, usually in the context of sandblasting, coal mining, or any other job in which there is heavy exposure to fine particulate silica; in contrast to classic silicosis, AS appears within 6 months to 3 yrs of initial exposure and leads to severe respiratory impairment, death Imaging–CXR Multifocal ground glass appearance and air space consolidation. Cf Coal workers' pneumoconiosis.
