1 Interstitial Lung Diseases ACOI Board Review 2013 Thomas F. Morley, DO, FACOI, FCCP, FAASM Professor of Medicine Director of the Division of Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine UMDNJ-SOM
2 Restrictive Lung Diseases By Category 1. Lung Fibrosis 2. Thoracic Deformity 3. Massive effusion 4. Respiratory muscle weakness 5. Increased abdominal pressure 6. Extrinsic Compression
3 ILD = Misnomer Most of these disease are not restricted to the interstium of the lung It is actually a radiographic term to differentiate it from alveolar filling diseases Diffuse Parenchymal Lung Disease is a better term
4 The interstitium is the scant space between the capillary endothelial cell and the lung epithelium. It also includes the space that airways, blood vessel, and lymphatics traverse.
5 Interstitial Lung Disease Characteristics 1. Diffuse infiltrates bilaterally 2. Restrictive Physiology 3. Histologic distortion of gas exchange areas 4. Dyspnea (exercise desat) and cough
6 Pathogenesis of Interstitial Lung Diseases Inhaled Stimulus Blood Borne Stimulus Alveolitis Recruitment of Inflammatory Cells TISSUE DAMAGE HEALING FIBROSIS

67 Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis * Caused by repeated inhalation of an ORGANIC dust or chemical - leads to sensitization * Symptoms may be acute or chronic * Fever, cough, dyspnea, and infiltrates occur 4 to 6 hrs post exposure Repeated exposure leads to fibrosis * Dx: depends on history and specific precipitating antibodies to the antigen
68 Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis * Type III - immune complex injury and Type IV - delayed hypersensitivity is involved in pathology * Acute pathology shows PMN infiltrate 3 days later the infiltrate becomes lymphocytic and loose granulomas form. FOAMY histiocytes and bronchiolitis obliterans may be noted
