• the interstitial lung diseases (ILDs)(AKA diffuse parenchymal lung
disease, are a heterogeneous group of disorders that are classified
together because of similar :
• 100s of diseases.
3
• Patients with ILD commonly come to clinical attention in one of the
following ways:
• Physical examination,
• Laboratory data
• PFT
• radiography,
• BAL and
• Lung biopsy

PULMONARY FUNCTION TESTS
• assist in assessing the severity of disease and help determine
prognosis.
45
PULMONARY FUNCTION TESTS
• Typically, spirometry in most forms of ILD demonstrates a restrictive
ventilatory defect due to decreased compliance and increased recoil of
the lung parenchyma.
46
BRONCHOALVEOLAR LAVAGE
• Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) is performed during flexible
bronchoscopy to obtain samples of cells and fluid from the distal
airways and alveoli.

LUNG BIOPSY
• Lung biopsy is indicated in patients with:
signs of vasculitis),
53
Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis (HP)
• HP, or extrinsic allergic alveolitis, is a spectrum of
interstitial, alveolar, and bronchiolar lung diseases
resulting from immunologically induced inflammation
in response to inhalation of a wide variety of different
materials that are usually organic or low–molecular-
weight chemical antigens (or haptens), which may
lead to irreversible lung damage
54
HP…….Introduction
• HP is not an atopic disease and is not associated with increased IgE or eosinophils.
• Farmer's lung is one of the most common forms of HP, affecting 0.4 to 7 percent of
the farming population.
55
HP….. Introduction
• Exposed non smokers tend to develop HP than smokers.
56
HP….. Introduction
• More than 300 etiologies are reported … the following occupations are seen
commonly ( see table on UTD)
• Farming, vegetable, or dairy cattle workers
• Textile workers
57
HP …. CLINICAL FEATURES
• The manifestations of the disease may be acute, subacute, or chronic.
58
HP …. CLINICAL FEATURES….Acute
HP
• Transient fever, hypoxemia, myalgias, arthralgias, dyspnea, and cough that
occur 2 to 9 hours after exposure and resolve in 12 to 72 hours without specific
treatment (sometimes longer after a particularly intense exposure).
60
HP …. CLINICAL FEATURES….Chronic
HP
• The chronic form is clinically more insidious, and patients may lack a history of acute
episodes.
• Present with a gradual onset of cough, dyspnea, fatigue, and weight loss.
• There is typically no fever, but tachypnea and bibasilar dry rales are usually present.
• These radiodensities tend to occur in the lower lobes and spare the apices.

HP…. RADIOGRAPHIC FEATURES…Subacute HP
• The abnormalities can be diffuse but tend to have lower zone predominance.
66
67
HP…. RADIOGRAPHIC FEATURES…
Chronic HP
• In chronic HP, CXR are notable for diffuse linear and nodular radiodensities, with sparing of the
bases and upper-lobe predominance, and volume loss.
• HRCT scans of patients with chronic HP demonstrate several patterns. Most commonly there
are multiple centrilobular nodules 2 to 4 mm in diameter throughout the lung
fields ,reticulation accompanied by honeycombing and/or emphysema.
• Unlike sarcoidosis, the nodules are seldom attached to the pleura or bronchovascular bundles,
and the border between the nodules and the surrounding lung is well demarcated.
• There are also well-delineated areas of increased radiolucency, which are presumably
overinflated pulmonary lobules subserved by partly occluded bronchioles.
