Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis: Radiologic Phenotypes Are Associated With Distinct Survival Time and Pulmonary Function Trajectory

Chest, 2019
Background Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) is an interstitial lung disease with a better prognosis, on average, than idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).

A systematically derived exposure assessment instrument for Chronic Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis.

Chest, 2020
BACKGROUND Chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis (CHP) is an immune mediated interstitial lung disease, caused by inhalational exposure to environmental antigens, resulting in parenchymal fibrosis.

Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis Associated with Environmental Mycobacteria [PDF]

, 2010
A previously healthy man working as a machine operator in an automotive factory developed respiratory symptoms. Medical evaluation showed abnormal pulmonary function tests, a lung biopsy showed hypersensitivity pneumonitis, and his illness was traced to ...

Leukocyte telomere length and mycophenolate therapy in chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis

European Respiratory Journal, 2020
Recent prospective clinical trials have shown antifibrotic therapies slow lung function decline in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) [1, 2] and progressive fibrosing interstitial lung disease (ILD).

T-bet controls severity of hypersensitivity pneumonitis [PDF]

, 2011
Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis (HP) is an interstitial lung disease that develops following repeated exposure to inhaled environmental antigens. The disease is characterized by alveolitis, granuloma formation and in some patients' fibrosis.

Prognostic factors in chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis

European Respiratory Review, 2020
Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) is an immunologically mediated lung disease resulting from exposure to inhaled environmental antigens. Prognosis is variable, with a subset of patients developing progressive fibrosis leading to respiratory failure and ...

Interpretation of HRCT Scans in the Diagnosis of IPF: Improving Communication Between Pulmonologists and Radiologists. [PDF]

, 2018
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive fibrosing interstitial lung disease (ILD). In this review, we describe the central role of high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) in the diagnosis of IPF and discuss how communication between ...

Bronchoalveolar lavage in occupational lung diseases [PDF]

, 2007
Occupational lung diseases (OLDs) are related to the exposure and inhalation of organic, inorganic, and synthetic particles, fumes, gases, or infectious agents. From the long list of OLDs this article focuses the discussion on bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL)

Severe Occupational Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis: A Case Series of Four Patients Requiring Lung Transplantation

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) is an immune‐mediated interstitial lung disease triggered by repeated inhalation of organic or chemical antigens. Occupational exposures account for approximately 19% of all cases. Early diagnosis, identification of the responsible antigen(s), and immediate avoidance of exposure are crucial to prevent ...

Analysis of interstitial lung disease in pharmacovigilance databases: Coding challenges and interpretation biases—An update

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aim Clinically, interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a heterogeneous group of respiratory disorders. Due to their low incidence, pharmacovigilance database analysis is useful to detect them. Precise diagnosis is challenging as well as coding in these databases. Query criteria are among the key elements for a good signal detection.
