Diffuse interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a general term encompassing a broad range of largely unrelated conditions which share the propensity to cause breathlessness and/or cough, while resulting in bilateral abnormal opacities of various types on conventional chest radiographs or computed tomography (CT) scans. The idiopathic interstitial pneumonias are a subset of diffuse ILDs characterized...

Introduction: Non-specific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) is an lung disease that may be idiopathic or secondary to connective tissue disease, toxins numerous other causes. Materials and methods: This a retrospective study of 30 cases non-specific collected in the radiology pneumology departments Hassan II University Hospital Fez, spread over period 4 years. Results: We followed for NSIP. The me...

Background ILD is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in CTD. Moreover, it can be the first clinical feature a Objectives To evaluate progression 12 months through HRCT PFT according to kind CTD (systemic sclerosis, myositis, Sjögren’s syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, mixed connective tissue disease, systemic lupus erythematosus), vasculitis, sarcoidosis interstitial pneumonia with aut...

미만성 간질성 폐질환(diffuse interstitial lung disease)은폐포보다는폐간질을주로침범하는다양한 정도의염증과섬유화소견을보이는만성질환으로결체조 직질환이나약물등원인이밝혀진경우와특발성인경우로 나눌 수 있다. 특발성 간질성 폐렴의 분류는 2002년 American Thoracic Society와 European Respiratory Society의 합의를 통한 임상적, 영상의학적 그리고 병리학적 소견을 종합한 다각적 접근에 따른 분류 체계가 널리 받아 들여 지고 있다(1, 2). 이에 따르면 특발성 간질성 폐렴은 상용 간질성 폐렴(idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis/usual interstitial pneumonia, IPF/UIP), 비특이적 간질성 폐렴 (nonspe...

According to the American Thoracic Society (ATS)/European Respiratory Society consensus classification, idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (IIPs) include several clinic-radiologic-pathologic entities: idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP), nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP), cryptogenic organizing pneumonia, acute interstitial pneumonia, respiratory bron...

Idiopathic interstitial pneumonias comprise usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP), nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP), desquamative interstitial pneumonia (DIP), respiratory bronchiolitis-associated interstitial lung disease (RB-ILD), cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP), acute interstitial pneumonia (AIP), and lymphoid interstitial pneumonia (LIP). Each of these entities has a typical im...

IgG4-related lung disease is commonly associated with autoimmune pancreatitis. Recently, isolated IgG4-related interstitial lung disease (ILD) without other organ involvement has newly been reported in two cases with clinical features of nonspecific interstitial pneumonitis (NSIP).We report the first case of an isolated IgG4-related ILD in a 78-year-old man with dry cough and dyspnea, whose cli...

A non-invasive test to facilitate the diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is still not available and represents an important goal. Forty-eight patients with stage I NSCLC, 45 with IPF, 30 with other idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (IIPs) including idiopathic non-specific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) and chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis...
