Fibrosing Pneumonias (Interstitial Pneumonias) [PDF]

open access: possible, 2020
Diffuse parenchymal lung disease (ILD) includes a heterogeneous group of non-neoplastic disorders. ILDs are mostly inflammatory in nature and the resulting injury to the lung parenchyma can lead to fibrosis with or without honeycombing remodeling. In this chapter, we will consider fibrosing pneumonias with temporal heterogeneity (UIP pattern) that

Lymphocytic Interstitial Pneumonia

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 1988
Lymphocytic interstitial pneumonia is a common complication of HIV infection in children, but uncommon in adults. It is characterized clinically by the presence of cough and dyspnea, diffuse pulmonary infiltrates on chest x-ray, restrictive pulmonary dysfunction, and hypoxemia. This constellation of findings usually erroneously suggests PCP, and a lung

Acute interstitial pneumonia

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 2004
The idiopathic interstitial pneumonias have unknown etiology and are characterized by diffuse parenchymal lung involvement and the potential to develop pulmonary fibrosis. Most portend a reduction in life expectancy due, in part, to the absence of effective therapies. The symptoms of idiopathic interstitial pneumonia develop insidiously.

Update on Interstitial Pneumonia

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Equine Practice, 2015
Interstitial pneumonias encompass a wide variety of acute and chronic respiratory diseases and include the specific diseases equine multinodular pulmonary fibrosis and acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress. These diseases have been diagnosed in all age groups of horses, and numerous agents have been identified as potential causes of ...

Idiopathic Bronchiolocentric Interstitial Pneumonia: A New Idiopathic Interstitial Pneumonia

Archivos de BronconeumologĂ­a ((English Edition)), 2007
Idiopathic interstitial pneumonias represent a diverse group of lung diseases with diffuse effects on the lung parenchyma. In 2002, the American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society consensus classification unified the descriptions of the different entities encompassed by idiopathic interstitial pneumonias.

Nonspecific interstitial pneumonia: a provisional category of idiopathic interstitial pneumonia

Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 2004
Idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (IIP) represent a complex group of relatively rare entities with similar clinical, vaguely similar radiographic and differing histologic features. The recent international multidisciplinary consensus statement produced by the American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society aiming to standardize the ...

The idiopathic interstitial pneumonias

Current Problems in Diagnostic Radiology, 2004
This review includes the seven idiopathic interstitial pneumonias defined by The American Thoracic Society and The European Respiratory Society 2002 publication. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is the clinical term for usual interstitial pneumonia. The radiologic pattern includes basal and subpleural ground glass and reticular opacities and honeycomb ...

Usual Interstitial Pneumonia

Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2006
Usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) is a distinct histological lesion observed in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) but can be found in other etiologies. The diagnosis of UIP can be established by surgical lung biopsy or by high-resolution thin-section computed tomographic (CT) scans (provided the radiographic features are classical).

Nonspecific Interstitial Pneumonia

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 2012
Traditionally, a subset of patients diagnosed as having idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis had positive results on cellular biopsies (prominent lymphoplasmacytic inflammation), bronchoalveolar lavage lymphocytosis, a clinical response to steroids, and a better long-term prognosis. On review of the lung histopathology, the lesion was characterized by varying
