摘要：The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between radiographically detectable pleural changes and lung function in pleural asbestosis. One hundred and twenty chrysotile asbestos-exposed workers were enrolled in this retrospective study. For each examinee the length of asbestos exposure and the degree of dust cover at the workplace were assessed as well as the radiological and functional tests has been performed. The examinees were divided into two groups based on radiologically detectable changes: a) group with pleural changes (29%) and b) group without perceived pleural changes (71%). The obtained results indicate association between the length of asbestos exposure, pleural changes and the impairment of lung function.
