Characterisation 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...
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 کاملSerological and morphological prognostic factors in patients with interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features
BACKGROUND To identify the prognostic factors for survival in patients with interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features (IPAF) who meet the serological domain of the IPAF criteria. METHODS We retrospectively analysed 99 IPAF patients who met the serological domain and were hospitalised at the Respiratory Medicine Unit of Kurashiki Central Hospital from 1999 to 2015. The high-resolution co...
متن کاملInterstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features: an additional risk factor for ARDS?
BACKGROUND Interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features (IPAF) identifies a recently recognized autoimmune syndrome characterized by interstitial lung disease and autoantibodies positivity, but absence of a specific connective tissue disease diagnosis or alternative etiology. We retrospectively reviewed the clinical presentation, diagnostic workup and management of seven critically ill patie...
متن کاملAn official European Respiratory Society/American Thoracic Society research statement: interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features.
Many patients with an idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (IIP) have clinical features that suggest an underlying autoimmune process but do not meet established criteria for a connective tissue disease (CTD). Researchers have proposed differing criteria and terms to describe these patients, and lack of consensus over nomenclature and classification limits the ability to conduct prospective studie...
