Kelsey-Seybold Clinic, P.A. 6624 Fannin Street Houston, Texas 77030 (713)797-1551 Dear Dr. Hughes: Thank you so much for asking me to see I have enclosed a copy of your October 27th letter for reference. As you know, smokes two packages of cigarettes daily, but has few symptoms other than for some shortness of breath and occasional early morning cough. Through the years, he has worked in areas adjacent to insulators, pipefitters, and has been involved in scraping insulation off of old pipes. But, he does not have the consistent, intense exposure to asbestos as commonly seen. The pleural densities have been present since 1978 and have changed very little. On physical examination there are no rales to suggest early pulmonary fibrosis. Although a diagnosis of asbestosis cannot be made with certainty, it is certainly possible that the pleural densities are related. I have urged that he stop smoking at once, since it is the combination of cigarette smoking and asbestos exposure which leads to the most hazards so far as health is concerned. I believe that it would be wise to continue him in an annual surveillance program consisting of a PA and lateralchest x-ray sFncfToETsTcT spiYometry.
