Clinical Classification

Clinical Information

  • Desquamative Interstitial Pneumonia|DIP|RBILD|Respiratory Bronchiolitis Interstitial Lung Disease

    a rare idiopathic interstitial pneumonia characterized by accumulation of macrophages in alveolar spaces and interstitial inflammation. it usually occurs in smokers. some patients develop progressive interstitial lung fibrosis.
  • Interstitial Lung Disease

    a category of lung diseases characterized by varying degrees of inflammation and fibrosis of the interstitial lung tissue. causes include occupational lung exposures and drugs. in a minority of cases there is no clear cause and such cases are termed idiopathic interstitial pneumonia.
  • Pulmonary Surfactant Metabolism Dysfunction-3|Interstitial Lung Disease Due To ABCA3 Deficiency|SMDP3|Surfactant Apoprotein ABCA3 Deficiency|Surfactant Metabolism Dysfunction-3|Surfactant Protein ABCA3 Deficiency|Surfactant Protein ABCA3 Deficiency

    an autosomal recessive condition caused by mutation(s) in the abca3 gene, encoding atp-binding cassette sub-family a member 3. it is characterized by severe respiratory insufficiency or failure in neonates or infants.

Patient Education


Interstitial Lung Diseases

Interstitial lung disease is the name for a large group of diseases that inflame or scar the lungs. The inflammation and scarring make it hard to get enough oxygen. The scarring is called pulmonary fibrosis.

Breathing in dust or other particles in the air is responsible for some types of interstitial lung diseases. Specific types include:

  • Black lung disease among coal miners, from inhaling coal dust
  • Farmer's lung, from inhaling farm dust
  • Asbestosis, from inhaling asbestos fibers
  • Siderosis, from inhaling iron from mines or welding fumes
  • Silicosis, from inhaling silica dust

Other causes include autoimmune diseases or occupational exposures to molds, gases, or fumes. Some types of interstitial lung disease have no known cause.

Treatment depends on the type of exposure and the stage of the disease. It may involve medicines, oxygen therapy, or a lung transplant in severe cases.
