CA60.2

ICD-11 MMS 2026-01

Pneumoconiosis due to mineral fibres including asbestos

Description

Asbestosis is pneumoconiosis, an interstitial lung disease due to inhalation of asbestos fibres. The accumulation of fibres in the lung leads to diffuse fibrosis and formation of opacities in lower parts of lungs on chest X-ray. Asbestos bodies may be detected in lungs and sputum.
