3 biochemical mechanisms of lead toxicity
sx in the neuro, GI, renal, and heme systems

hypersensitivity pneumonitis
actue vs chronic
lung histo
clin presentation and testing/labs
:vs - idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

what are the four morphologic phases of this disease

D = lobar pneumonia
c= interstitial pulmonary fibrosis
e= chronic bronchitis

dx and etiology




diagnosis?
what is the histo picture showing
clinical presentation

lung= hilar adenopathy, fever, cough,
LAD= well formed, noncaseating granulomas
erythematous rash
uveitis
weight loss, night sweats, arthralgias

dx and etiology




EYE PATH
causes of
- cotton wool spots + dot-blot hemorrhages
- cotton wool spots with arteriolar narrowing and hard exudates
- acute monoocular vision loss with cherry red spot @ macule and retinal pallor
- insidious loss peripheral vision + enlarged retinal cup + pale optic disk
- subretinal drussen and abn pigment


xVHL –> CAs in which systems




wegeners= necrotizing vasulitis (nasal ulcerations, sinusitis, hemoptysis) + RPGN –> = Wegener/GPA/c-ANCA
=probably Abs against neutrophil proteinase 3
