  2. Usual interstitial pneumonia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usual_interstitial_pneumonia

    Specialty. Respirology. Usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) is a form of lung disease characterized by progressive scarring of both lungs. [1] The scarring (pulmonary fibrosis) involves the pulmonary interstitium (the supporting framework of the lung). UIP is thus classified as a form of interstitial lung disease.

  3. Interstitial lung disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstitial_lung_disease

    Interstitial lung disease. Interstitial lung disease (ILD), or diffuse parenchymal lung disease (DPLD), [3] is a group of respiratory diseases affecting the interstitium (the tissue) and space around the alveoli (air sacs) of the lungs. [4] It concerns alveolar epithelium, pulmonary capillary endothelium, basement membrane, and perivascular and ...

    Autopsy specimen. Idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (IIP), or noninfectious pneumonia[1] are a class of diffuse lung diseases. These diseases typically affect the pulmonary interstitium, although some also have a component affecting the airways (for instance, cryptogenic organizing pneumonitis). There are seven recognized distinct subtypes of IIP.

  5. Acute interstitial pneumonitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_interstitial_pneumonitis

    H&E stain. Acute interstitial pneumonitis (also known as acute interstitial pneumonia) is a rare, severe lung disease that usually affects otherwise healthy individuals. There is no known cause or cure. Acute interstitial pneumonitis is often categorized as both an interstitial lung disease and a form of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

  6. Non-specific interstitial pneumonia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-specific_interstitial...

    Causes. It has been suggested that idiopathic nonspecific interstitial pneumonia has an autoimmune mechanism, and is a possible complication of undifferentiated connective tissue disease; [2] however, not enough research has been done at this time to find a cause. Patients with NSIP will often have other unrelated lung diseases like COPD or ...

  7. Hypersensitivity pneumonitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypersensitivity_pneumonitis

    The prognosis of some idiopathic interstitial pneumonias, e.g. idiopathic usual interstitial pneumonia (i.e. idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis), are very poor and the treatments of little help. This contrasts the prognosis (and treatment) for hypersensitivity pneumonitis, which is generally fairly good if the allergen is identified and exposures to ...
