If silicosis is not combined with lung infection or tuberculosis, the survival time is not much different from that of a normal person; if it is combined with these diseases, the patient’s survival time may be only 5-10 years. Silicosis, or pneumoconiosis, is a typical occupational disease that is mainly due to long-term dust inhalation, resulting in gradual fibrotic changes in the patient’s lungs. Patients with silicosis may show signs of coughing, coughing and breathlessness. Pneumoconiosis is most commonly combined with tuberculosis, and the patient’s symptoms become more pronounced when the lungs become infected. Patients with stage III tuberculosis, in particular, even require lung replacement therapy, and if they cannot wait for a suitable lung source, the patient’s survival period may be only about 5 years. However, for pneumoconiosis patients without co-infection, tuberculosis, laryngitis, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, their survival time is the same as that of a normal person, but such cases are less common. Once silicosis is diagnosed, the patient needs to immediately leave the work environment and take rest. At the same time, they should maintain a good state of mind and be actively treated under the guidance of a doctor.
