Symptoma

Idiopathic Interstitial Pneumonia

All presented with dyspnea as the initial symptom and with ILD as the first manifestation. Elevated CPK was identified in three patients but only two had muscle weakness. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Failure to Thrive

  • Cognitive Impairment

    In a community-based cohort followed for 27 years, both restrictive and, to a lesser extent, obstructive lung disease were associated with greater risk of incident dementia and mild cognitive impairment. [pats.atsjournals.org]

Studies have shown that cryobiopsy can provide a definitive diagnosis in many patients undergoing workup for IIP, eliminating the need for surgical lung biopsy. [clinicaladvisor.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]

See Workup for more detail. Management The optimal medical therapy for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis has yet to be identified. [emedicine.medscape.com]

  • Pulmonary Consolidation

    IPF의 급성 악화 시에는 HRCT상 기존의 망상음영과 벌집모양의 병변에 더하여 젖빛유리음영과 폐경화(pulmonary consolidation)의 소견이 미만성, 다국소성, 혹은 주변부 등의 분포로 나타나게 된다[12]. [ekjm.org]

    Radiological features Chest X-ray shows aspecific pleural thickening of apical regions, with small subpleural pulmonary consolidations. This imaging pattern is indistinguishable from many other chronic pulmonary infections (tuberculosis). [link.springer.com]

  • Normal Chest X-Ray

    A high-resolution computed tomography scan (HRCT) was carried out in-patients affected by sarcoidosis, who had a normal chest X-ray, and in IIP patients. Both groups were evaluated with the Octreoscan uptake index (U.I.; normal value: or 10). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Radiological features Normal chest X-ray has been described in up to 20–30 % of cases [ 48 ]. Non-specific signs often detected are represented by thickening of the central and peripheral wall of bronchi and ground-glass areas [ 42, 49 ]. [link.springer.com]

  • Human Herpesvirus 6

    In all four patients, (1) the conditioning regimen induced total body irradiation, (2) serological reactivation of cytomegalovirus and/or human herpesvirus-6 preceded the onset of IIP, (3) their human leucocyte antigen types were among those suspected [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Although pulmonary (67)Ga uptake significantly decreased after treatment (P 0.001), there was no correlation between either initial (67)Ga uptake or change in (67)Ga uptake on treatment and 1-y prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Females of reproductive potential: Exclude pregnancy before the start of treatment, monthly during treatment, and 1 month after stopping treatment. [prnewswire.com]

In patients with IPF or fibrotic NSIP, pulmonary (67)Ga scintigraphy may be useful for predicting response to therapy and prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Predicting prognosis in the individual patient is challenging but various clinical and radiologic variables have been identified. [doi.org]

As the name implies, the etiology is unknown. In the more severe forms of IIP, such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and acute interstitial pneumonia, no effective therapies have been identified. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. [icd10coded.com]

SETTING: Although the incidence and prevalence of idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (IIP) and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) have been assessed in Western countries, their epidemiology has not been analysed in Asian countries, including the Republic [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
