100% associated with cigarette smoke
Respiratory bronchiolitis-associated interstitial lung disease
chicken wire appearence of normal lung alveolar space
UIP
hallmark of UIP
spatially and temporally heterogeneous
feature of UIP
fibroblastic foci -
small proteinaceous plugs in the sub epithelial space
fibroblastic foci of UIP
Features of UIP
hetero temporal
patchy collagen fibrosis
fibroblastic foci
honeycomb
Features of NSIP (non-specific interstitial pneu)
uniform temporal
interstitial inflammation
diffuse collagen fibers
organizing pneumonia
Feature of AIP
uniform temporal
hyaline membrane
velcro crackles heard in
interstitial lung disease
Clinical features of interstitial lung disease
most common: cough, dysnea

tachypnea, clubbing, crackles
Age of onset
UIP v DIP v NSIP
UIP in older males
DIP, NSIP younger (40's)
Mortality of UIP v DIP v NSIP
UIP = higher mortality rate
Response to treatment
UIP v DIP v NSIP
UIP responds poorly
abnormal white thickenings around the periphery of the lung
UIP
diagnosis of ILD is made by
history!!!
Drug for UIP
azathioprine
drug for ILD
corticosteroids
Seen in biopsy of UIP
end stage lung (honeycomb)
normal lung
active inflammation
how NSIP differs from UIP
inflammation is prominent and homogenous
Plugs in alveolar space that aren't true granulation tissue but resepble it witha clump of myofibroblasts and a lot of inflammation around the airways
BOOP
cells appear to be desquaminating but are actually alveolar macrophages
DIP
associated with cigaretttes
DIP
HRCT shows ground glass
hypersensitivity pneumonitis - acute
path of hypersensitivity pneumonitis
antigen
neutrophil/mast cell
chronic lymphociyic
granuloma
fibrosis or repair
Chronic Hypersensitivity pneumonitis can mimic
UIP/IPF
HRCT shows reticular lacy stuff or honeycomb appearence
hypersensitivity pneumonitis
Definition of asbestosis
interstitial pneumonitis and fibrosis caused by exposure to asbestos fiber
presentatin is identical to IPF
asbestosis
low levels of silica v. high
low = scarring
massive = ARDS-like
Silica-associated illnesses
Mycobacterial infection
