Reprint of a British Medical Journal article reporting a study of HLA antigens in 37 asbestos textile workers with asbestosis and 37 matched exposed workers without pulmonary fibrosis, compared with white-collar workers and blood donors. The authors found no significant differences between groups and did not confirm a previously suggested association between asbestosis and HLA-B27. They noted a tendency for HLA-B12 to occur with advanced fibrosis and a high frequency of HLA-BW5 in workers without fibrosis. unreviewed
