Erasmus Syndrome: A Case Report of Silicosis-induced Scleroderma in a 26-year-old Male

Several occupational hazards especially exposure to silica have been implicated as causal factors for the development of scleroderma-like disorders. Many case reports have documented the co-existence of silicosis and progressive systemic sclerosis in the same patient, mostly from European countries...

description Several occupational hazards especially exposure to silica have been implicated as causal factors for the development of scleroderma-like disorders. Many case reports have documented the co-existence of silicosis and progressive systemic sclerosis in the same patient, mostly from European countries and also from Japan and the United States. We report a case of a 26-year-old male involved in stone masonry who developed silicosis-induced diffuse parenchymal lung disease and systemic sclerosis after exposure to silica dust. To our knowledge, it is the second case to be reported from India.
