Document Summary

Environmental causes of dependent ild: mining industry, hypersensitivity pneumonitis. Inhaling substances noxious to the lung itself: gas or fume exposure blood. Imaging interstitial pattern: pfts, restrictive pattern, dlco, reduced. Coal miners pneumoconiosis: rounded opacities between 1 and 5 mm upper and middle zones, ground glass characteristic, massive fibrosis, almost always starts in an upper zone, no a feature, cavitation of pmf can occur. Irregular linear opacities first noted in lower lung fields. Hypersensitivity pneumonitis: history of exposure to an offending antigen, temporal association. Ild pattern of pft and imaging: granulomatous inflammation, no eosinophilia. Ild connective tissue disease (ctd: presentation/ symptoms suspect ctd if, musculoskeletal pain, weakness, fatigue. Joint pains and swelling: photosensitivity, raynaud"s phenomenon, pleuritis, dry eyes/ mouth, commonly implicated drug, bleomycin. Digital clubbing association: uip , usual interstitial pneumonia. Irregular abnormalities: nodules rarely present, adenopathy is absent, type i pneumocytes lost proliferation of alveolar type ii cells.
