Health problems caused by asbestosis are due to lung infections, like pneumonia, that attack weakened lungs. Early medical attention and prompt, aggressive treatment offer the best chance of success in controlling asbestos-related lung infections. A physician might give you a vaccine protecting you against influenza or pneumococcal pneumonia as a precautionary measure.
