 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 12 Pneumoconiosis misdiagnosed as tuberculosis 92 cases of X-ray analysis [Abstract] Objective To analyze and summarize the reasons for pneumoconiosis misdiagnosed as tuberculosis. Methods We collected 538 cases of pneumoconiosis with tuberculosis, chest X-ray and data integrity through the calendar year, and occupational history of clear, dynamic observation and analysis, and use the 1986 National X-ray diagnosis of pneumoconiosis criteria to validate the smooth. The results of 538 cases of pneumoconiosis with pulmonary tuberculosis, 92 cases were misdiagnosed as tuberculosis, pneumoconiosis changes, two of which appeared small nodules on the lung field shadows in 15 cases; ‘spot slice’ the shadow of 28 cases, ‘pale zone ‘39 cases, massive fibrosis in 10 cases. There were 92 cases of pneumoconiosis extension of period of diagnosis and the more the phenomenon. Conclusion of pneumoconiosis and tuberculosis control their own X-ray features, combined with clinical, occupational history, sputum examination, X-ray chest plain film of the dynamic observation and high-resolution CT and other laboratory examinations, diagnostic errors can be avoided. [Keywords:] tuberculosis; pneumoconiosis Tuberculosis is a common and frequently-occurring disease is a common complication of pneumoconiosis, tuberculosis, certain types of X-ray performance of shape, size, location and pneumoconiosis in two small nodules on the lung field appeared, ‘spot slice ‘and’ pale areas’ shadow of confusion, so the differential diagnosis of pneumoconiosis and tuberculosis is a clinical and radiology workers frequently encountered problems. This group collected through the diagnosis of occupational diseases diagnosed 538 cases of pneumoconiosis with tuberculosis, through the calendar year, X-ray and clinical data and occupational history of dynamic observation and analysis, and X-ray diagnosis of pneumoconiosis using national standards to verify smooth. 92 cases of pneum
