18
Q

4 parts of sarcoidosis Dx

A
  1. CXR show abnormalities
  2. may or may not have Sx
  3. PFT - obs or rest with low DLCO
  4. path - granulomatous inflammation
19

Tx of sarcoidosis

A

1-2 - nothing

3-4 prednisone

20

A
RAAIDS
Rhem arth
Asbestosis
Aspirations
Idiopathic pulm fibrosis
Drugs
Scleroderma
21
Q

what is connective tissue ILD

A

most rheumatic conditions can cause ILD

- leading cause of death in rheumatic conditons

22
Q

2 rheumo conditions

A
  1. RA - uncommon manifestation of common dis

2. scleroderma - common manif. of uncommon disease

23
Q

2 things for diagnosis of CT-ILD

A

Hx and Phx

serology

24
Q

what is asbestsis

A
  • occurs 20-30 years after exposure

- need significant exposure

25
Q

what is manifestion of asbestosis

A

lower lobe ILD - other things are cause by asbestos, but not asbestosis

26
Q

Dx and Tx of asbestosis

A

Dx- Hx and fibers seen on patho

Tx - none

27
Q

what is idiopathic pulm fibrosis

A

age >50

  • seems to be abberant wound healing without significant inflammation
  • uncommon
  • survivial 2-5 years
28
Q

3 things to make IPF Dx

A
  1. rule out all other caues of ILD
  2. CT showing “usual interstitial pneumonia”
  3. may need lung biopsy
29
Q

what is Tx for IPF

A
  • NOT steroids - increases mort

- anti-fibrotic agents

30
