متن کاملCharacterisation of patients with interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features.
Patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) may have features of connective tissue disease (CTD), but lack findings diagnostic of a specific CTD. A recent European Respiratory Society/American Thoracic Society research statement proposed criteria for patients with interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features (IPAF).We applied IPAF criteria to patients with idiopathic interstitial pneumonia...

In some cases, serological abnormalities are absent and in other cases, serological findings are suggestive of a specific CTD, but systemic clinical features are not. Alternatively,...
متن کاملSpontaneous Improvement of Interstitial Pneumonia with Autoimmune Features
A 66-year-old man, diagnosed with interstitial pneumonia based on high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) findings (Picture 1) presented to our hospital due to a persistent dry cough with desaturation. Pulmonary function tests showed a reduced forced vital capacity of 1.90 L (51% predicted) and a decreased diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (65% predicted). A surgical lung biopsy reveale...
متن کاملSmoking-related idiopathic interstitial pneumonia.
Cigarette smoking is a key factor in the development of numerous pulmonary diseases. An international group of clinicians, radiologists and pathologists evaluated patients with previously identified idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (IIP) to determine unique features of cigarette smoking. Phase 1 (derivation group) identified smoking-related features in patients with a history of smoking (n=41)...
