Gross Pathology
Some people who have been exposed to the dust have severe lung scarring that makes it difficult for their lungs to carry oxygen to the bloodstream (called progressive massive fibrosis). People with rheumatoid arthritis do not seem more likely to have this complication of scarring.
Persons with rheumatoid arthritis are more likely to develop larger areas of inflammation and scarring in response to coal dust.
