Overview
Caplan syndrome is caused by breathing in coal mining dust. This causes inflammation and can lead to the development of many small lung lumps (nodules) and mild asthma-like airway disease.
The condition occurs in miners (especially those working in anthracite coal-mines), asbestosis, silicosis and other pneumoconioses. There is probably also a genetic predisposition and smoking is thought to be an aggravating factor.
Causes
- symptoms include [shortness of breath], [cough], and [rheumatoid arthritis].
Common Causes
Common causes of Caplan Syndrome may include:
- Rheumatoid arthritis
