Symptomatic smokers presenting with symptoms mimicking interstitial lung disease are diagnosed with respiratory bronchiolitis–interstitial lung disease ( RB-ILD ). [radiologykey.com]

This group of RB-ILD patients had the usual characteristic clinical presentation described previously in other series. [elsevier.pt]

It is the authors’ belief that RB-ILD was the cause of the initial illness at presentation and she showed improvement after smoking cessation alone. [thorax.bmj.com]

• Weight Loss

  Many affected individuals also experience a loss of appetite and gradual weight loss. Some people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis develop widened and rounded tips of the fingers and toes (clubbing) resulting from a shortage of oxygen. [icdlist.com]

  Some patients are sensitive to light and have red, painful eyes, while others may be systemically ill, with symptoms including fevers, chills, and unintentional weight loss. Causes A variety of microbes cause retinitis. [asrs.org]

  As the disease progresses, weight loss, muscle and joint pain, and fatigue may also occur. [radiologyinfo.org]

  Weight loss, most often in people with COP or BOOP. In most forms of interstitial lung disease, the shortness of breath develops slowly (over months). [webmd.com]

  Late: dyspnea at rest, weight loss; clubbing, cyanosis, and right ventricular failure. Chest Roentgenography Early: normal to ground-glass pattern and nodular, reticular or reticulonodular patterns. [lumen.luc.edu]

• Hypoxemia

  […] in patients with interstitial lung disease is V/Q mismatch, with DLCO defect contributing to hypoxemia with activity increased expiratory flow rates due to increased radial traction (result of increased elastic recoil) on airway walls prevents small [medbullets.com]

  Hypoxemia is common during exercise and may be present at rest. HRCT, which distinguishes airspace from interstitial disease, is the most useful test and is always done. [merckmanuals.com]

  Oxygen therapy should be prescribed if hypoxemia is detected with exercise or persists at rest. [consultant360.com]

  With disease progression, chronic hypoxemia, cyanosis, and finger clubbing occur. The precise diagnosis is often difficult and frequently requires invasive procedures such as bronchoscopy, and in most cases, open lung biopsy. [pediatrics.aappublications.org]

• Congestive Heart Failure

  The exact epidemiology is difficult to determine due to misidentification of patients as having more common disorders such as congestive heart failure or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The epidemiology varies based on the ILD subtype. [accessmedicine.mhmedical.com]

• Malnutrition

  The physical examination revealed malnutrition (5th to 15th BMI percentile) and clubbing. Resting oxygen saturation (96%) was normal, and there was no desaturation ( Fig 1 ). [pediatrics.aappublications.org]

• Cough

  The onset is usually insidious with exertional dyspnea and persistent cough, which may be non-productive, developing over a course of weeks or months. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  The main symptoms are exertional dyspnea and a dry cough. Bibasilar inspiratory crackles or rales are usually heard on auscultation. Treatment is based on the underlying cause. [amboss.com]

• Dyspnea

  The onset is usually insidious with exertional dyspnea and persistent cough, which may be non-productive, developing over a course of weeks or months. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  For example, exertional dyspnea in ILD resembles dyspnea experienced by patients with more common ailments such as asthma, COPD, and heart disease. [consultant360.com]

• Dry Cough

  We describe an 11-year-old boy with failure to thrive, dry cough, and exertional dyspnea for 1 year who was diagnosed with RB-ILD due to heavy passive smoking exposure. [pediatrics.aappublications.org]

  Symptoms The clinical symptoms consist of slowly developing dyspnoea and dry cough, and approximately half the patients have finger clubbing. On lung function tests, restrictive ventilatory impairment and abnormal diffusion are prominent findings. [pulmonary-fibrosis.net]

  CONCLUSION The diagnosis of ILD should be made after no more than 3 weeks during the evaluation of chronic exertional dyspnea and dry cough. [consultant360.com]

  The main symptoms are exertional dyspnea and a dry cough. Bibasilar inspiratory crackles or rales are usually heard on auscultation. Treatment is based on the underlying cause. [amboss.com]

  The symptoms will vary from person to person, but the most common symptoms of an ILD are: Shortness of breath, especially with exertion or exercise Dry cough that does not produce phlegm Labored breathing Although rapid worsening can happen, ILD's symptoms [uchospitals.edu]

  The acute or subacute processes are often confused with atypical pneumonias, since many have diffuse radiographic opacities, fever, or relapses of disease activity. [quizlet.com]

  Discussion Bronchiolar abnormalities and their terminology have been confusing for both clinicians and pathologists. [nature.com]

  Diagnostic criteria In the last 30 years there has been a great deal of confusion concerning the diagnostic criteria for SS, with competition between different more or less restrictive definitions, resulting in great variations in the prevalences reported [em-consulte.com]

[…] can also be found in other diseases such as CTDs, which is another ILD classification, but is idiopathic when the cause is unknown despite a comprehensive workup. [consultant360.com]

In our opinion, screening for SS should be performed in the etiological workup for diffuse bronchiectasis. Bronchiolar involvement can reveal SS. There are three cases in the literature of diffuse bronchiolitis occurring in patients with primary SS. [em-consulte.com]

• Ground Glass Appearance

  On HRCT, there is a ground glass appearance, being most prominent in the lower fields and periphery and are sometimes patchy and sometimes homogeneous. There are also centrilobular nodes and condensations of the central and peripheral airways. [pulmonary-fibrosis.net]

  HRCT may show ground glass appearance or honeycomb cysts. BAL: Predominance of neutrophils. Diagnosis: By exclusion, usually need open lung biopsy to confirm. [lumen.luc.edu]

  The radiographic appearance can suggest NSIP with ground glass opacities, mainly subpleural and posterior, with signs of fibrosis variable in extent (subpleural reticulations, sometimes honeycomb cysts). [em-consulte.com]

• Lung Function Testing Abnormal

  Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) is abnormal in 50% of patients with SS, often in the absence of clinical, radiological or lung function test abnormalities [ 78 ]. [em-consulte.com]

The majority of published reports consider RB-ILD to be a nonprogressive ILD that clinically improves with smoking cessation and antiinflammatory treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The decision for a longer duration of treatment was therefore made. Notwithstanding, smoking cessation is very important for the course of the disease, as shown in this case. [thorax.bmj.com]
