Inflammatory indices obtained from routine blood tests show an inflammatory state associated with disease progression in engineered stone silicosis patients.

Neutrophils and platelets did not present a significant difference between either of the groups studied, although an increasing trend was also observed for neutrophil counts in the SS and PMF groups.

Therefore, the monocyte count showed a trend of increasing from HC → SS → PMF, but only significant differences between HC-PMF and SS-PMF were observed.

The ROC curves proved that all inflammatory indices have some usefulness for evaluating the severity of ES silicosis patients, more obviously for PMF, but with non-negligible values it is also highly significant for SS diagnosis.
