  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]

  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]

  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]

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]

  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]
