Introduction

Interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) comprise a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by varying degrees of inflammation and fibrosis.

Pathophysiology

ILDs are primarily caused by prolonged exposure to harmful substances, autoimmune disorders, or idiopathic origins. They are characterized by alveolar wall thickening, leading to impaired gas exchange.

Clinical Presentation

Patients often present with progressive dyspnea, dry cough, and fatigue. Radiological findings typically show a honeycomb pattern.

Treatment

Treatment options include corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, and lung transplantation in severe cases.

Conclusion

Early detection and management of ILDs are crucial to improve patient outcomes.
