Introduction

Interstitial Lung Diseases (ILDs) represent a heterogeneous group of more than 200 pulmonary disorders characterized by inflammation and fibrosis of the lung interstitium.

Etiology and Pathogenesis

ILDs can be idiopathic or secondary to systemic diseases. The pathogenesis involves an abnormal repair response to alveolar epithelial injury, leading to fibrosis.

Clinical Features and Diagnosis

Patients often present with dyspnea and cough. High-resolution computed tomography and lung biopsy are essential for diagnosis.

Conclusion

Understanding ILDs' complex nature is vital for accurate diagnosis and effective management, ultimately improving patient outcomes.
