Chapter 18- Interstital Lung Diseases Flashcards
What are 3 common symptoms of ILD?
dyspnea on exertion
dry cough
constitutional symptoms sometimes
What does PFT show with ILD?
restriction and gas-exchange abnormalities
Lymphangioleiomyomatosis commonly presents in what people?
women of childbearing age
Langerhans cell histiocytosis commonly presents in what people?
young male smokers
What is the most common Idiopathic interstitial pneumonia?
cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis (IPF)
What is IPF (cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis)?
progressive fibrosis of the lungs resulting in nonproductive cough and SOB that worsens with exertion and eventually causes hypoxemic respiratory failure
What age is assoc. w/ IPF?
50-70y/o
What will be found on PE, PFT, and X-ray with IPF?
crackles
PFT- decreased lung volumes, poor oxygenation, infiltrates on Xray
What is the treatment for IPF?
Corticosteroids + azathioprine
Case by case decision
For acute exacerbation of IPF, what is the treatment?
corticosteroids
Poor prognosis
What interstitial pneumonia is assoc. with connective tissue disorders and hypersensitivity pneumonitis?
Nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP)
What are S/S of NSIP?
slowly progressive dyspnea and bilateral interstitial infiltrates?
What is treatment for NSIP?
immunosuppressants
What population is desquamative interstitial pneumonia (DIP) assoc. with?
young individuals that smoke
What are the S/S of DIP?
progressive SOB and bilateral infiltrates on chest radiograph
How do you diagnose DIP?
biopsy (shows macrophages in alveolar spaces)
How do you treat DIP/
avoid tobacco
immunosuppressants
What is acute interstitial pneumonitis (AIP)?
dyspnea that progresses from days to weeks and leads to respiratory failure
usually fatal
What are s/s of Cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP)?
subacute or chronic dyspnea first noted on exertion and sometimes triggered after acute illness, like URI
Treatment of COP
immunosuppressants
Who is lymphocytic interstitial pneumonia (LIP) common in?
women
What are s/s of lymphocytic interstitial pneumonia (LIP)?
gradual onset dyspnea and cough
occasionally fever, CP, arthralgias, weight loss
How to you treat lymphocytic interstitial pneumonia (LIP)?
corticosteroids
What is the most common granulomatous disorder?
sarcoidosis
What are the associated risks of sarcoidosis?
Northern European
10-40 y/o
Women > men
Characterized by formation in tissues of noncaseating granulomas that organize in an inner core of epithelioid cells, macrophages, and giant cells, surround by a rim of lymphocytes, fibroblasts, and connective tissue
sarcoidosis
What organs are affected by sarcoidosis?
virtually any organ,
What are two problems assoc. with acute sarcoidosis?
Lofren syndrome
Uveoparotid fever
Lofren syndrome
erythema nodosum, arthritis, hilar adenopathy
Uveoparotid fever
uveitis, parotitis, facial nerve palsy
How is sarcoidosis treated?
corticosteroids
What are the usually s/s and PFTs for interstitial lung diseases related to connective tissue disorders?
extertional dyspnea and dry cough or asymptomatic
Bibasilar crackles
PFTs: restrictive pattern with decreased diffusion capacity
What is the treatment for interstitial lung diseases related to connective tissue disorders?
immunosuppressants
2 causes of drug induced lupus
procainamide or hydralazine
Drug that causes dyspnea, hemoptysis, pulmonary infiltrates
crack cocaine (“crack lung”)
Characterized by disruption of alveolar capillary membranes resulting in bleeding into alveolar spaces
Pulmonary vasculitis and diffuse alveolar hemorrhage
S/S: Pulmonary vasculitis and diffuse alveolar hemorrhage
abrupt onset of cough, fever, dyspnea, hemoptysis
What are 3 abnormalities associated with systemic vasculitis?
ocular, nasopharyngeal, cutaneous
What do you hear on auscultation with Pulmonary vasculitis and diffuse alveolar hemorrhage
inspiratory crackles, systolic murmur
