Q

in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis what is issue?

A

the initial inflammation is unknown but TGF-beta is involved by activating fribroblasts leading to deposition of collagen thus fibrosis

Q

what do see in PFTs in ILD?

A

-decreased TLV, FRC and RV - decreased FEV1, FVC and either normal or increased FEV1/FVC - decreased DLCO

Q

what is the course of IPF?

A

it is pretty grim, not high survival rates however there is new tx. that slows down the decline in FEV1 and thus might be able to improve survival rates but thatis unknown

Q

when you one use glucocorticoids in treating certain ILD?

A

if there are inflammatory (eosinophils, lymphocytes or granulomatous) or ground glass/alv infiltrates (sarcoidosis, COP, ceP) are present

Q

in immunologic occupational asthma we see ____ and we should expect what are two of the most common cause?

23
Q

true or false asbestosis can be seen quickly?

A

nope disease seen in many years after exposure but one can see pleural plaques with recent exposure

24
Q

where are the silicosis particles mainly deposited? who are the main instigators? where can nodules be seen in?

A

deposited in upper lobes - macrophages release pro-inflammatory and pro-fibrotic mediators - seen in hilar lymph nodes

25
Q

HP examples

A
  • farmer’s lung - maple bark disease - bird-fancier’s lung -humidifier or air conditioner lung
26
Q

HP hallmark in histology

A

lymphocytes

27
Q

Inflammatory pattern characterized by the presence of collections of epithelioid histiocytes (macrophages), with or without multinucleated giant cells (these are also histiocytes) and necrosis

A

granuloma granulomatous

28
Q

prototypical idipathic granulomatous disorder

A

sarcoidosis

29
Q

sarcoidosis hallmark

A

non-necrotizing granulomas in different organs and increased serum ACE

30
Q

Vasculitis and necrotizing granulomas in upper and lower respiratory tract and necrotizing or crescentic glomerulonephritis

A

GRANULOMATOSIS WITH POLYANGIITIS

31
Q

GRANULOMATOSIS WITH POLYANGIItis has a c-ANCA

A

positive test

32
Q

LANGERHANS CELL HISTIOCYTOSIS

A

proliferation of langerhan cells/APC and strongly associated with smoking

33
Q

Organizing pneumonia histologic pattern without known cause

A

cryptogenic organizing pneumonia

34
Q

dissuse alveolar damage

A

acute interstitial pneumonia

35
Q

alveolar macrophages sfill alveolar spaces leading to mild interstitial fibrosis but there is good response to smoking ceddation and steroids

A

desquamative interstitial pneumonia

36
Q

You are evaluating a patient with dyspnea, non-productive cough, and inspiratory crackles on exam. A chest CT shows diffuse ground glass opacities. Which of the following would NOT be expected? - decreased FEV1, decreasedFVC, nl FEV/FVC, decreasedTLC, decreasedDLCO - decreased compliance -Fibrosis on lung biopsy -Rapid shallow breathing - H/O tobacco smoking

A

-Fibrosis on lung bio-Fibrosis on lung biopsypsy

37
Q

Do we see hypercapnia in ILD?

A

yea, they have a rapid shallow breathing, cystic airspaces and diffusion abnormality at later stages

38
Q
A

asbestos (ferruginous) body

39
Q
A

Birbeck granules are seen ultrastructurally within langerhans

40
Q

41
Q
A

Diffuse airspace filling by macrophages with light brown cytoplasmic pigment; In RB-ILD, the process is less extensive and has bronchiolocentric distribution

42
Q
A

geographic necrosis
