Q

What is the appraoch to idiopathic interstitium pneumonias

A

1st step—identify pts whose disease is truly idiopathic
i.e., not infectious, med-related, environmental, occupational or connective tissue related

Careful medical hx

CXR & high-resolution CT may be diagnostic

Lung biopsy often required for definitive dx

Q

A pt comes in recently diagnosed with asthma, on your workup you hear bibasilar inspiratory crackles and note clubbing of the fingers

The pt has a NML SPO2 at rest with exertional desat

There is a restrictive pattern on PFTS

And the CXR shows bilateral reticualr opacities.

Good pasture has postive anti GBMs and renal involvement with microscopic hematauria

Hemosiderosis does not
