Resumen
Se comparan 110 trabajadores en contacto con el amianto y 82 personas sin exposición a la fibra. La tos y expectoración crónica son más frecuentes entre los trabajadores del amianto más jóvenes. La disnea de esfuerzo es más frecuente en este grupo, encontrándose solamente en ellos estertores en las bases pulmonares. Los resultados son similares a los encontrados por otros autores. Es muy sugestivo pensar que estas diferencias son debidas a la acción de la fibra de amianto.
Summary
The authors compare 100 workers in contact with asbestos and 82 persons not exposed to the fiber. Coughing and chronic expectoration are more frequent among the younger workers in contact with asbestos. Labored breathing is more frequent in this group, and rales in the pulmonary bases are found only among them. It is very suggestive to think that these differences are due to the action of asbestos fiber.
