Learning Targets -II- To elaborate the diagnosis to other ILDs including clinical , radiological findings and management lines.
Introduction (ILDs) are a heterogeneous group of disorders that are classified together because of similar clinical, radiographic, physiologic, or pathologic manifestations .
What is the Pulmonary Interstitium? between the epithelial and endothelial basement membrane Expansion of the interstitial compartment by inflammation with or without fibrosis Necrosis Hyperplasia Collapse of basement membrane Inflammatory cells
Pathogenesis The pathogenesis of ILDs is unknown. But more and more facts have shown that immune cells and their cytokines play an important role in the course of ILDs .
Classification Divided into -Associated with known causes and -Idiopathic. The treatment choices and prognosis vary among the different causes and types of ILD
Physical examinations Bilateral basilar, crepitant velcro -like rale wheezing, rhonchi and coarse rales are occasionally heard with advanced disease, patients may have tachypnea and tachycardia At last, pulmonary hypertention and cor pulmonale may be exist

Q. 2 55 year male with history of SOB and dry cough over 6 months. He smokes occasionally . PFT Restrictive pattern with reduced capacity . HIS HRCT show GGO with traction bronchiectasis . Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis? NSIP UIP RB-ILD LIP
Q.3 In interstitial lung diseases, lung function tests most often show: A. Reduced carbon monoxide diffusing capacity (DLCO) B. Increased total lung capacity (TLC) C. Airflow obstruction D. Elevated arterial PCO2
PFT A restrictive defect : (TLC), (FRC), (RV) ,(FVC) and (FEV1) but usually the changes are in proportion to the decreased lung volumes Low DLCO
PFT A reduction (DLCO) is a common, but nonspecific finding in ILD- , the severity of the DLCO reduction does not correlate well with disease prognosis, unless the DLCO is less than 35 %. Due to effacement of the alveolar capillary units but more importantly, to the extent of mismatching of ventilation and perfusion of the alveoli. In some ILDs, i.e sarcoidosis , there can be considerable reduction in lung volumes and/or severe hypoxemia but normal or only slightly reduced DLCO
Moderate to severe reduction of DLCO in the presence of normal lung volumes in a patient with ILD suggests one of the following: Combined emphysema and ILD Combined ILD and PVD Pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis Pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis All of the above Q.4
Q. 5 An interstitial pattern on CXR accompanied by obstructive airflow suggestive of : Sarcoidosis Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage Pulmonary lymphoangioliomatosis Combined COPD and ILD All of the above

6MWT 6MWT have correlated with prognosis in several studies of IPF Pulse oximetry desaturation to 88 during the 6MWT is associated with a median survival of 3.21 y compared with a median survival of 6.63 y in those who did not desaturate below 89%.
Q. 6 Which of the following is false regarding Pulmonary hypertension in ILDs ? A. The cause of PH in ILD is likely multifactorial. b. There is a linear correlation between PFT and PH in ILD. C. Genetic predisposition not play a role D. Proposed pathogenesis include presence of vaso -dilation ,angiopathy and PE E. All are False
The cause of PH in ILD is likely multifactorial The absence of a linear correlation between PFT PH in ILD suggests that other factors may play a role , These include the following: Vasoconstriction and vascular remodeling; Perivascular fibrosis and vascular destruction; Hypoxemia, both nocturnal and exertional ; Thrombotic angiopathy and pulmonary emboli; Elevated pulmonary capillary wedge pressure resulting from peripheral vascular occlusive disease, which has been described in both IPF and sarcoidosis and/or diastolic dysfunction; Microvascular inflammation and injury; Pathobiological process ( ie , vascular granulomas in sarcoidosis , PH of Langerhan's cell histiocytosis ); and Genetic predisposition and varying gene expression
Q. 7 Which is true about BAL in ILDs ? a. BAL is less likely to be helpful in patients with a radiographic pattern suggestive of IPF. b. BAL does not have an established role in the assessment of ILD progression or response to therapy c. Consist normally of macrophages >85%, lymphocytes 10-15%, neutrophils ≤3%, eosinophils ≤1%, epithelial ≤5% d. High CD4 /CD8 ratio in sarcoidosis and rheumatoid lung while reveals low ratio in HP . e. All are true
Q. Which of the following associated with neutrophilic Cellular pattern in BAL ? IPF HP COP Drug induced Pneumonitis Radiation Pneumonitis
ROLE OF BRONCHOALVEOLAR LAVAGE (BAL) The lavage fluid is sent for cell counts, cultures for mycobacterial, viral and fungal pathogens, and cytological analysis. Virtually all patients presenting with hemoptysis and radiographic ILD should undergo BAL to confirm an alveolar source of bleeding and identify any infectious etiologies.
Q. 8 Which is true regarding VATS use for diagnosing ILDs ? A. Low diagnostic accuracy B. More morbidity and mortality than open lung biopsy C. Role of BAL and TBBx is highly diagnostic in all IIP D. Ideal biopsy include two or more surgical wedge biopsies with areas of normal lung and samples should measure 3-5 cm in length and 2-3 cm in depth E. None of the above

Q.11 A confident diagnosis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) requires which one of the following? A. Surgical lung biopsy B. Usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) pattern on lung biopsy or HRCT. C. Failure to respond to corticosteroid therapy D. Evidence of disease progression
To Diagnose 1. Exclude identifiable causes of ILD (e.g., occupational or environmental exposures, drugs &radiation, CTDs) 2. UIP pattern shown by: a) HRCT or b) Surgical lung biopsy, in the absence of HRCT features inconsistent with UIP Diagnostic Criteria for IPF (ATS/ERS/JRS/ALAT statement. AJRCCM 2011)
Q. 12 73-year-old retired insulating engineer presents with a 6-m history of increasing dyspnoea. He worked with asbestos for 2 years, 35 years ago. He has seronegative rheumatoid arthritis, clubbing and basal crackles on chest examination. The CT scan is shown below. Which one of the following is the most likely diagnosis? a. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis B. Asbestosis c. Rheumatoid lung d. Lung adenocarcinoma e. Bronchiectasis
A. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis Asbestosis is unlikely because the patient’s asbestos exposure was only 2 years in duration and his disease began more than 20 years later. The absence of pleural plaques is evidence against asbestosis, in which more than 95% of patients have pleural plaques demonstrable on chest CT. Rheumatoid lung with interstitial fibrosis is unlikely in seronegative disease , and clubbing is uncommon in rheumatoid pulmonary fibrosis. Lung adenocarcinoma remains a possible diagnosis but in this case is less likely than IPF and the CT does not suggest the presence of a cancer. Bronchiectasis is unlikely in the absence of cough and sputum production and clubbing seldom occurs nowadays except in patients with cystic. Bronchiectasis is not a prominent feature in the presented CT.
Q 13 70 year-old never-smoking man, who is former office worker, complains of a dry cough and progressive sob (NYHA class III) for 6 m. He takes 20 mg enalapril daily for hypertension. He has no other diseases. He has not kept animals, or been exposed to dust or fumes. Auscultation reveals Velcro rales over both lung bases. There is no clubbing. Pulmonary function tests cannot be performed because of impressive, possibly psychogenic, hyperventilation. While breathing room air, ABG shows PaO2 72 mmHg, PaCO2 41 mmHg, pH 7.36 and SaO2 94%. His chest CT image is shown below.

Q 15 75-year-old female is referred for dyspnoea on exertion and chronic cough that have worsened progressively over the past 12 months. Pulmonary function testing reveals an FVC of 72% predicted, FEV1 of 80% predicted and TLCO of 38% predicted. The chest radiograph shows bilateral interstitial basal infiltrates. On HRCT, bilateral reticular opacities and clustered basal honeycombing are found. Open-lung biopsy reveals randomly distributed foci of usual interstitial pneumonia surrounded by normal lung parenchyma. What is the most appropriate therapy for this patient? a. Pirfenidone b. Bosentan C. Acetylcysteine d. Prednisolone/azathioprine e. Supportive care
The recommendation against the use of the following agents for the treatment of IPF • Anticoagulation • Imatinib • Combination prednisone, azathioprine, and N-acetylcysteine • Selective endothelin receptor antagonist ( ambrisentan • Phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor (sildenafil) • Dual endothelin receptor antagonists ( macitentan , bosentan ) (ATS/ERS/JRS/ALAT Guideline.

He is previously treated with antibiotics but his symptoms have failed to improve. In the emergency department, he is noted to be hypoxic on room air and crackles on auscultation of his lungs. His WBC 16,000; Hgb 14; Plt 300; LDH 500.He had a chest CT which showed below The cell count from the bronchial alveolar lavage reveals eosinophils 5%, lymphocytes 15%, neutrophils 15%. The transbronchial biopsy shows inflammatory intraluminal plugs consisting of granulation tissue with fibroblasts and myofibroblasts in connective matrix, in small airway, ducts and alveoli with mild interstitial inflammation. There is preservation of architecture and uniform appearance. What is your presumptive diagnosis? a. Chronic eosinophilic pneumonia b. Cryptogenic organizing pneumonia c. Desquamative interstitial pneumonia d. Pulmonary Oedema e. Acute eosinophilic pneumonia
Q 20. The patient has been discharged on prednisone 20 mg PO daily for 4 weeks. He has not been compliance to his medications and he comes in complaining of fatigue and shortness of breath. He is noted to have oxygen saturation of 95% on room air and afebrile. Repeat radiographs show new central sparing infiltrates on the left lung. Cultures have been obtained which has been negative. What would be the next appropriate step? Prednisone 20 mg PO daily Solumedrol 1 g IV daily for 3 days Piperacillin– Tazobactam 3.375 mg IV every 6 hours with vancomycin 1 g IV every 12 hours Cellcept 1,000 mg PO every 12 hours Amphotericin B
A. Answer: A. Prednisone 20 mg PO daily The patient appears to have a relapse, which manifests as worsening symptoms with reoccurrence of prior or new infiltrates. They are common during steroid taper. Predictors of relapse include delayed treatment and mild increases with alkaline phosphatase and gammaglutamyltransferase . Proposed taper of medications include prednisone 0.75 mg/kg/day for 4 weeks; followed by 0.5 mg/kg/day for 4 weeks, and then 20 mg daily for 4 weeks, 10 mg for 6 weeks, and 5 mg daily for 6 weeks. If relapse occur while dose <20 mg daily, increase dose to 20 mg daily and slowly taper accordingly. Treatment of COP includes steroids from 0.75 to 1.5 mg/kg/day with usual duration of up to 1 year.
