Question 7

Silicosis is a lung disease caused by inhaling silica dust, and it is also known as Grinder's disease (since grinders are exposed to silica dust). Pneumonoconiosis is a general term for dust - related lung diseases, whooping cough is pertussis, and croup is a respiratory condition in children, not related to silicosis.

Cryptococcosis is a fungal infection. To diagnose it, a spinal tap (to check cerebrospinal fluid for the fungus) and X - ray (to check for lung involvement, as it can affect the lungs) are used. Endoscopy is for visualizing internal organs like the digestive tract, Schick test is for diphtheria, and Mantoux test is for tuberculosis.

Answer:

Grinder's disease
