Gujjar Lung: A Disease Mimicking Miliary Tuberculosis
Abstract
Abstract: Gujjar lung is a chronic lung disease caused due to the long-term exposure to pinewood smoke inhalation in Gujjarcommunity and the people residing at the hilly regions of the Indian sub-continent. This is characterized clinically by progressive
cough and dyspnea, distinct radiological patterns and pathological features of anthracotic nodules and brosis. A typical case with
miliary mottling on chest radiograph is presented and the relevant literature reviewed.
Keywords: Pine wood smoke, Milliary shadows, Anthracotic nodules, Interstitial lung disease.
