chronic interstitial lung disease ch28
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Does it show a restrictive or obstructive pattern? | It can show as either or both. |
During the chronic stage what characterizes the general infalmmatory responce? | Infiltration of numerous white blood cells and some fibroblasts in the alveolar walls and interstitial spaces. |
What are the pathologic changes associated with chronic interstitial lung disease? | Fibrotic thickening of the resp. bronchioles, alveolar ducts, and alveoliGranulomasDestruction of the alveoliand adjacent pulmonary capillariesHoneycombing and cavity formationAirway obstruction caused by inflammation and bronchial constriction |
What is another name for extrinsic alveolitis? | Hypersensitivity pneumonitis. |
What is extrinsic allergic alveolitis? | Immunologically mediated inflamation of the lungs caused by the inhalation of a variety of offending agents. |
What is sarcodosis? | Multisystem granulomatous disease of unknown etiology. |
What is/are the manifestations of the lung in sacoidosis? | Interstitial lung disease, enlargement of the mediastinal lymph nodes, or a combination of both. |
How is sarcodosis diagnosed? | Usually based on the clinical presentation, followed by confirmation with a chest radiograph and histologic evidence obtaained by biopsy. |
What is another name for eosinophilic granuloma? | Histiocystosis X |
What characterizes eosinophilic granuloma? | Numerous small interstitial granulomas scattered throughout the lungs. |
Who are more prone to get eosinophilic granuloma? | Smokers and ex-smokers between 20 and 40 years of age, and males more than females. |
What is another name for pulmanary vasculitides? | Granulomatoius vasculitides. |
What is pulmonary vasculitides? | Consists of a heterogeneous group of pulmonary disorders characterized by inflammation and destruction of the pulmonary vessels. |
What characterizes Wegener's granulomatosis? | Necrotizing, granulomatous vasculitisFocal and segmental glomerulonephritisVariable degreeof systemic vasculitis of the small veins and arteries. |
Wegner's granulomatosis, Churg-Strauss syndrome, and lymphomatoid granulomatosis fall under what category? | Pulmonary vasculitides. |
What is idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF)? | Progressive inflamatory disease with varying degrees of fibrosis. |
What will be seen in a severe case of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF)? | honeycombing. |
What is the etiology of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF)? | Unknown |
What are the major entities of IPF? | Desquamative interstitial pneumonia (DIP) and usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP). |
What are the most prominent features of DIP? | hyperplasia and desqumation of the alveolar type II cells. |
What happens with the alveolar spaces? | they get packed with macrophages, and there is an even distribution of the interstial mononuclear infiltrate. |
What are the most prominent features of UIP? | Interstitial and alveolar thicknig caused by chronic inflammatory cells and fibrosis. |
What happens in severe cases of UIP? | Fibrotic connective tissue replaces the alveolar walls, the alveolar architecture becomes distorted, and honeycombing develops. |
Which has a better prognosis, DIP or UIP? | DIP |
What causes death in UIP and DIP? | Progressive acute vetilatory failure, complicated y pulmonary infection. |
What causes drug-induced interstitial lung diease? | Chemotherapeutc or cytotoxic agents. |
