Interstitial Lung Disease in a Patient with Chronic Granulomatous Disease
BACKGROUND Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is an inherited phagocytes defect, characterized by defects of NADPH-oxidase and inability of bacterial killing, which leads to recurrent life-threatening infections. Respiratory problems, which are the major cause of morbidity in CGD, usually result from recurrent severe infections; however, vigorous inflammatory response could also cause respirat...
متن کامل[Diagnostic value of induced sputum in interstitial lung disease].
BACKGROUND Induced sputum (IS) has been recently used to investigate pulmonary inflammation in patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD), but still little attention has been paid to its efficacy in diagnosing sarcoidosis and other ILD. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of IS differential cell count and CD4+/CD8+ ratio in sarcoidosis (SA) and nonsarcoidosis ILD (NSA ...
متن کاملDrug-induced interstitial lung disease: mechanisms and best diagnostic approaches
Drug-induced interstitial lung disease (DILD) is not uncommon and has many clinical patterns, ranging from benign infiltrates to life-threatening acute respiratory distress syndrome. There are two mechanisms involved in DILD, which are probably interdependent: one is direct, dose-dependent toxicity and the other is immune-mediated. Cytotoxic lung injury may result from direct injury to pneumocy...
متن کاملRheumatoid Arthritis-Associated Interstitial Lung Disease: Diagnostic Dilemma
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is an increasingly recognized complication of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) contributing to significantly increased morbidity and mortality. Diagnosis can be challenging since patients are unlikely to report dyspnea due to an overall decrease in physical activity with advanced arthritic symptoms. Additionally, infections, drug toxicity, and environmental toxins can m...
متن کاملUnclassifiable interstitial lung disease: an unresolved diagnostic dilemma
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) classification requires a multidisciplinary review that includes input from an ILD clinician, chest radiologist, and lung pathologist. We report a case of ILD that remained unclassifiable due to discordant clinical, radiological, and pathological findings despite a thorough evaluation that included examination of explanted lung tissue. This case demonstrates that...
