چکیده
There are few areas of pulmonary disease in which the terminology has been more confusing than interstitial lung disease (ILD ). The interstitium of the lung is made up of the formed elements of the lung bronchi, arteries and veins, interlobular septa, bronchioles, alveolar walls, and the connective tissue which holds everything together This is contrasted with the alveolar spaces, which are essentially air spaces within the interstitium. Theoretically, a lung disease might involve the interstitium, the alveolar spaces, or both.
