متن کاملCirculating antibodies to lung protein(s) in patients with cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis.
BACKGROUND It has been hypothesised that cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis has an immunological pathogenesis mediated by T lymphocytes. It is, however, recognised that patients may show dysregulation of the humoral immune system and that the presence of large numbers of B lymphocytes in open lung biopsies may be associated with a poor prognosis. Evidence of a role for the humoral immune system i...
متن کاملHigh resolution computed tomographic assessment of asbestosis and cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis: a comparative study.
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to compare the distribution and configuration of lung opacities in patients with cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis and asbestosis by high resolution computed tomography. METHODS Eighteen patients with cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis and 24 with asbestosis were studied. Two independent observers assessed the type and distributions of opacities in the upper,...
متن کاملHypothesis: exposure to solvents may cause fibrosing alveolitis.
The incidence of fibrosing alveolitis, which can be caused by many agents, is increasing. In a proportion of patients, the aetiology is unknown (cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis), but it has been suggested that environmental factors may play an important, but unrecognized, role in its pathogenesis. A review of the literature suggests that there may be a link between exposure to solvents, widesp...
