    Abstract:
    The case of a 57-year-old man is reported, who worked as a plasma welder about 15 years. Chronic recurrent bronchitis was diagnosed 12 years after beginning of this work. The patient changed the place of his employment but the course of disease was uncommonly progressive. He died of right ventricular heart failure 10 years later. One year before death, the chronic obstructive pulmonary lesions were acknowledged as occupational disease. The post-mortem histological and chemical analysis of lung tissue yielded a mixed dust pneumoconiosis. These findings supported additionally the diagnosis of occupational disease.
