ImportanceInterstitial lung disease (ILD) consists of a group of pulmonary disorders characterized by inflammation and/or fibrosis of the lung parenchyma associated with progressive dyspnea that frequently results in end-stage respiratory failure. In the US, ILD affects approximately 650 000 people and causes approximately 25 000 to 30 000 deaths per ...

Introduction Chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis (CHP) is an interstitial lung disease with limited treatment response and bad prognosis. Sometimes it is indistinguishable from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) becoming one of the main differential ...

Lung transplantation for interstitial lung disease [PDF]
Lung transplantation (LTx) can be a life-extending treatment option for patients with advanced and/or progressive fibrotic interstitial lung disease (ILD), especially idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), fibrotic hypersensitivity pneumonitis, sarcoidosis and connective tissue disease-associated ILD.

Background: Long-term nitrofurantoin (NF) treatment can result in pulmonary and hepatic injury. Current guidelines do not outline the type or frequency of monitoring required for detection of these injuries.

A multidisciplinary approach to the diagnosis of antisynthetase syndrome
Antisynthetase syndrome is a subtype of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy, strongly associated with the presence of interstitial lung disease. Diagnosis is made by identifying myositis-specific antibodies directed against aminoacyl tRNA synthetase, and ...

Introduction Interstitial lung disease (ILD) may be difficult to distinguish from other respiratory diseases due to overlapping clinical presentation. Recognition of ILD is often late, causing delay which has been associated with worse clinical outcome ...

Interstitial lung disease [PDF]
Interstitial lung diseases are a group of diffuse parenchymal lung disorders associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Knowledge achieved in recent years has resulted in the publication of the new classification of idiopathic interstitial pneumonias, according to which there are three groups: major, rare and unclassified.

Predictors and changes of physical activity in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Background Different clinical predictors of physical activity (PA) have been described in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), but studies are lacking evaluating the potential role of muscle strength and anxiety and depression symptoms in PA limitation ...

The Genetics of Interstitial Lung Diseases [PDF]
Interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) are a set of heterogeneous lung diseases characterised by inflammation and, in some cases, fibrosis. These lung conditions lead to dyspnoea, cough, abnormalities in gas exchange, restrictive physiology (characterised by decreased lung volumes), hypoxaemia and, if progressive, respiratory failure.

Interstitial Lung Disease in the Elderly [PDF]
Despite the relationship between idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and advancing age, little is known about the epidemiology of interstitial lung disease (ILD) in the elderly. We describe the diagnoses, clinical characteristics, and outcomes of patients who were elderly at the time of ILD diagnosis.Among subjects from a prospective cohort study of ...
