What treatment should be instituted? Diffuse Parenchymal Lung Diseases or Interstitial Lung Diseases (ILD) Heterogeneous group of noninfectious, nonmalignant processes of the lower respiratory tract (interstitial pneumonias) that commonly result Symptoms: dyspnea and cough Signs: crackles on chest exam; (clubbing) PFTs: restrictive ventilatory impairment Chest imaging: diffuse interstitial opacities Lung biopsy: granulomatous or interstitial inflammation and fibrosis Outcome: often progressive and often fatal 2
Lung Fibrosis Follows Many Different Forms of Lung Injury What are the Causes of ILD? Granulomatous reaction Drugs (chemotherapy) Radiation Inorganic dusts (asbestos, fumes, gases) Collagen vascular diseases Pulmonary hemorrhage syndromes (vasculitides) Lymphocytic infiltrative disorders Eosinophilic pneumonias Idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (UIP, DIP, NSIP, BOOP) Inherited diseases (tuberous sclerosis, familial PF) Endstage Fibrosis ( Honeycomb lung ) Major Histopathological Patterns Granulomatous Processes Granulomatous Reaction Inflammatory and fibrotic Sarcoidosis Organic dusts Hypersensitivity pneumonitis Inorganic dusts beryllium silica Granulomatous vasculitides Wegener s granulomatosis Churg-Strauss 3

Clinical Manifestations and Approach to the Diagnosis of ILD Approach to the Diagnosis of ILD: It Often Takes A Village! Clinical History Physical Laboratory PFTs Radiology Chest X-ray HRCT Pathology Surgical lung biopsy Primary Care Pulmonologists Radiologists Pathologists Multidimensional and multidisciplinary ATS/ERS Consensus Statement. Am J Respir Crit Care Med. 22;165:277-34. Clinical Presentations of DPLD Most common: DOE, cough, abnormal CXR, physiological impairment. Some: symptoms/signs, normal CXR & PFTs. (HRCT, BAL or exercise usually abnormal) Rarely, asymptomatic with abnormal CXR or physiological impairment (abnormal spirometry or low DLCO) Associated with another disease, esp, CTD Positive exposure history ILD Presentation: Symptoms and Signs Breathlessness (dyspnea) during or after physical activity Spasmodic, dry cough Gradual, unintended weight loss Fatigue or malaise Rapid shallow breathing Crackles on chest examination Clubbing, or enlargement of the ends of the fingers (or sometimes the toes) 5

Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis (Extrinsic Allergic Alveolitis) NOT a single, uniform disease Complex syndrome of varying: clinical presentation intensity natural history An immunologic reaction to an inhaled agent, particularly an organic antigen. King, TE, Jr. UpToDate EPIDEMIOLOGY Largely unknown. Few population-based studies Prevalence and incidence vary considerably depending upon case definitions intensity of exposure to inciting antigens season geographical conditions local practices and customs proximity to certain industries host risk factors King, TE, Jr. UpToDate Prevalence - Farmer's lung Number of cases in the population at risk at a given time Affects.4 to 7 percent of the farming population Varies by Region and climate farming practices ~ 9% at risk in humid zones to 2% in drier zones United States 42 to 3 (per 1,) United Kingdom 12 to 23 France 437 King, TE, Jr. UpToDate Incidence - Farmer's lung Number of new cases in the population at risk in a given year 8 to 54 per 1, per year Varies considerably and is influenced by several factors. In Finland, significant variation according to season Most cases occur in April near the end of the indoor feeding season for cattle Lowest in October, when outdoor feeding is norm. The incidence correlates positively with the King, TE, Jr. UpToDate 9
Prevalence -- Bird Fanciers Prevalence -- Bird Fanciers Highly variable 2 to 2, per 1, persons at risk Likely higher among bird fanciers than among farmers because contact with antigens is more prolonged Species of birds and the handling practices employed may affect prevalence Pigeon breeders: 6, to 21, per 1, per year (6 to 21 percent per year) King, TE, Jr. UpToDate King, TE, Jr. UpToDate Incidence Other Exposures High attack rates during sporadic outbreaks 52% office workers with humidifier lung (Ganier M, et al. Chest 198; 77:183) 37% lifeguards at public swimming pool (Rose CS, et al. Am J Public Health 1998; 88:795) 27% workers at an injection molding plant manufacturing polyurethane foam parts for automobiles (Simpson C, et al. Am J Ind Med 1996; 3:48) 15% office workers with contaminated forced air system (Banaszak EF, N Engl J Med 197; 283:271) King, TE, Jr. UpToDate ETIOLOGIC AGENTS Wide range of occupations and avocations Over 3 etiologies reported. Some are single or small number of cases and require further study. King, TE, Jr. UpToDate 1

Corticosteroid treatment with.5 to 1. mg of prednisone per kg of ideal body weight per day (up to 6 mg/day) should be considered for severely symptomatic patients. The initial dose is maintained for one to two weeks and is then tapered over the next two to four weeks. Maintenance therapy is rarely required.

Systemic Sclerosis Polymyositis-Dermatomyositis Pulmonary Manifestations CTD Rheumatoid Arthritis ILD complicating CTDs accounts for ~ 25 percent of all ILD mortality and 2 percent of all respiratory deaths in U.S.A. Usually the CTD is clinically evident. CTDs affect all areas of the lung, i.e., the airways, alveoli, vascular system and pleura, and does so in various degrees and combinations Pulmonary Manifestations CTDs Often the ILD is mild, but may be progressive and dominate the clinical picture Pathogenesis unclear but thought to be part of the systemic process.
