Occupational Interstitial Lung Diseases.

OBJECTIVE Evidence-based diagnostic and treatment guidelines for occupationally related interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) have been developed and are summarized herein. METHODS Comprehensive literature reviews were conducted with article abstraction, critiquing, objective grading, and evidence table compilation. A multidisciplinary expert panel drafted evidence- and consensus-based guidance. ...

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 es...

Interstitial lung diseases in collagen vascular diseases.

In this review, a clinical update is presented of the most important collagen vascular diseases (CVDs) and the different types of interstitial lung disease (ILD) encountered in these CVDs. These CVDs represent a heterogenous group of immunologically mediated inflammatory disorders with a large variety of affected organs besides the lungs. The frequency, clinical presentation, prognosis and resp...
