RESTRICTIVE LUNG DISEASES Flashcards
Coal worker pneumoconiosis results in further diseases like
Anthracosis
Simple black lung disease
Progressive massive fibrosis
Complicate coal workers pneumoconiosis
Silicosis is caused by and it’s further disease development
By silica or silicon dioxide
Associated with tuberculosis and 2 fold increase in risks of lung cancer
Most common manifestation of asbestos
Pleural plaques
Pulmonary alveolar Proteinosis(PAP)
Defects in pulmonary macrophages due to deficiency of granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor
Or
Accumulation of surfactant in intraalveolar and bronchiolar spaces
Pap is charcterized by
Bilateral patchy asymmetrical pulmonary opacifications
Surfactant dysfunction disorder causes
Mutation in atp binding casette protein number 3 (ABCA 3) it is autosomal recessive
Surfactant protein c autosomal dominant
Surfactant protein B autosomal recessive
Hypersensitivity pneumonitis is caused by
Organic dust containing antigens such as spores fungi, animal protein or bacterial products
Syndromes associated with hypersensitivity pneumonitis
Farmer lung by exposure to hay
Pigeon breeders lung by protein and excreta of birds
Humidifier or air conditioner lung by thermoohilic bacteria in heated water reservoir
Feature to identify the hypersensitivity pneumonitis
Nonnecrotizing granuloma
Macrophage inflammatory protein 1 alpha and IL8
Increase in CD4 and CD8 t lymphocytes
Type 4 hypersensitivity
Large collection of macrophage seen in airspaces in which disease
Desquamative interstitial pneumonia
Dusty brown macrophages or smoker’s macrophages seen in
Respiratory brochiolitis
