Cough
He noticed a dry cough and shortness of breath on exertion when the pigment of other colors was added at the age of 27. He visited our hospital two years later because of severe dyspnea. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Over-the-counter medications can help relieve some symptoms, such as the dry coughing. There is no current cure for desquamative interstitial pneumonia. [wisegeek.com]

Dyspnea
A 45-year-old male smoker heavily used a waterproofing spray gas, and presented with chills and fever that was followed by progressive dyspnea. Because steroid pulse therapy did not improve his symptoms, he was referred to our hospital. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Persistent Cough
The most frequent presenting features of DIP are the onset of breathlessness during exercise and a persistent cough that is not always productive of sputum [ 1, 3, 5, 6 ]. [err.ersjournals.com]

Rales
Two patients with diffuse interstitial lung disease after long-term nitrofurantoin therapy were characterized clinically by exertional dyspnea and basilar rales, roentgenographically by diffuse interstitial infiltrate and physiologically by a restrictive [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
While rales on auscultation may be heard in each of the two conditions, digital clubbing is more common in DIP. Approximately 60% of DIP patients are found to have rales on auscultation on physical examination. [spandidos-publications.com]

Pulmonary Disorder
If confirmed, this observation would add DIP to the list of pulmonary disorders that are amenable to the beneficial antiinflammatory effects of macrolides. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The presence of DIP-like reactions around a variety of spaces that occupy pulmonary lesions and of some diffuse pulmonary disorders further limit the diagnostic application of small-tissue biopsies: this mandates close radiographic correlation with findings [err.ersjournals.com]

Failure to Thrive
An infant presented with failure to thrive, tachypnoea, and hypoxia reversed by oxygen. Lung function showed decreased pulmonary compliance; lung biopsy showed desquamative interstitial pneumonitis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Workup
His entire workup failed to demonstrate cystic fibrosis, or any infectious or immune-related diseases. Chest imaging and clinical picture suggested parenchymal lung disease. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
It is possible that bronchiolocentric interstitial pneumonia represents a form of chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis for which the inhalational stimulus has not been identified despite our extensive workup for this condition. [nature.com]

Pulmonary Infiltrate
Since DIP is treatable, HCV patients with pulmonary infiltrates should be thoroughly investigated for this disorder. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Other Pathologies
-
Intranuclear Inclusion Bodies
In 9 of 11 cases there were intranuclear inclusion bodies histologically. In 4 of 12 control cases there were intranuclear inclusion bodies similar to those found in desquamative interstitial pneumonia. [annals.org]
-
Lymphocytic Infiltrate
The widespread, patchy intraalveolar histiocytic desquamation was associated with lymphocytic infiltration of bronchiolar and aveolar walls, which together provided convincing evidence that an interstitial pneumonitis was the cause of death. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
The patient was completely asymptomatic during four years' treatment and six months after stopping treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
Hazy densities in a peripheral distribution on CT may indicate active IPF associated with a good prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
It is important to recognize that desquamative interstitial pneumonia has distinctive clinical features, prognosis, and response to treatment. [histopathology-india.net]
Treatment and prognosis With smoking cessation and corticosteroid therapy, the prognosis is good. The overall prognosis of has been described as being significantly better than that of fibrotic NSIP 11. [radiopaedia.org]
Etiology
Our patient was a 56-year-old male, heavy smoker, with bilateral lung infiltrations of unknown etiology and several months of discomfort in the form of dry cough and shortness of breath. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. [icd10coded.com]
Carrington et al ( 22 ) suggested marijuana use as an etiological factor. [spandidos-publications.com]
The pathogenesis and etiology of DIP are not clear. [histopathology-india.net]
Epidemiology
The epidemiological and clinical features of DIP are summarised in table 1. Table 1. [err.ersjournals.com]
Based on the Bernalillo County, NM, USA registry data published in 1994, the overall estimated incidence is approximately 30 cases per 100,000 persons per year. [2] Rates of interstitial lung disease are somewhat higher in men than in women, and the epidemiology [emedicine.medscape.com]
Global or national epidemiological data are usually for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), which is the most common form of IIPs. [spandidos-publications.com]
Other causes of the usual interstitial pneumonia pattern include domestic and occupational environmental exposures, connective tissue disease, and drug toxicity. 28 An epidemiologic association between smoking and usual interstitial pneumonia is well [mdedge.com]

Prevention
Getting a flu shot every year can help prevent both the flu and pneumonia. In addition, pneumococcal bacteria can cause minor problems such as ear infections. [cedars-sinai.edu]
Can interstitial lung disease be prevented? Interstitial lung disease can be prevented only to the extent that its individual causes may be prevented. [rxlist.com]
