G Hassan1, Waseem Qureshi, S M Kadri, G Q Khan, Rashid A Rather, Mir Suhail Omer.   

Abstract

Gujjar lung is a chronic lung disease caused due to the long-term exposure to pinewood smoke inhalation in Gujjar community and the people residing at the hilly regions of the Indian sub-continent. This is characterized clinically by progressive cough and dyspnea, distinct radiological patterns and pathological features of anthracotic nodules and fibrosis. A typical case with miliary mottling on chest radiograph is presented and the relevant literature reviewed.
