Introduction

Interstitial Lung Diseases (ILDs) represent a complex, heterogeneous group of over 200 pulmonary disorders.

Etiology and Pathogenesis

ILDs can be idiopathic, or associated with systemic diseases, environmental exposures, and certain medications.

Clinical Manifestations

Patients typically present with exertional dyspnea and non-productive cough. Pulmonary function tests often reveal restrictive lung disease.

Diagnosis and Management

High-resolution CT and lung biopsy are crucial for diagnosis. Management involves treating underlying causes, supportive care, and lung transplantation in severe cases.

Conclusion

Understanding ILDs is vital for early recognition, appropriate treatment, and improved patient outcomes.
