Description and Extensions

Description
MSH2017_2016_08_12:A diverse group of lung diseases that affect the lung parenchyma. They are characterized by an initial inflammation of PULMONARY ALVEOLI that extends to the interstitium and beyond leading to diffuse PULMONARY FIBROSIS. Interstitial lung diseases are classified by their etiology (known or unknown causes), and radiological-pathological features.|MEDLINEPLUS_20151021:<p>Interstitial lung disease is the name for a large group of diseases that inflame or scar the lungs. The inflammation and scarring make it hard to get enough oxygen. The scarring is called <a href='https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/pulmonaryfibrosis.html'>pulmonary fibrosis</a>.</p> <p>Breathing in dust or other particles in the air is responsible for some types of interstitial lung diseases. Specific types include</p> <ul> <li>Black lung disease among coal miners, from inhaling coal dust</li> <li>Farmer's lung, from inhaling farm dust</li> <li>Asbestosis, from inhaling <a href='https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/asbestos.html'>asbestos</a> fibers</li> <li>Siderosis, from inhaling iron from mines or welding fumes</li> <li>Silicosis, from inhaling silica dust</li> </ul> <p>Other causes include autoimmune diseases or occupational exposures to molds, gases, or fumes. Some types of interstitial lung disease have no known cause.</p> <p>Treatment depends on the type of exposure and the stage of the disease. It may involve medicines, oxygen therapy, or a lung transplant in severe cases.</p>|HPO2016_07_04:Abnormality of the lung parenchyma extending to the pulmonary interstitium and leading to diffuse pulmonary fibrosis. [HPO:probinson]|CSP2006:heterogeneous group of noninfectious, nonmalignant disorders of the lower respiratory tract, affecting primarily the alveolar wall structures but also often involving the small airways and blood vessels of the lung parenchyma; may lead to respiratory insufficiency and death.
