Introduction

Interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) encompass a diverse group of pulmonary conditions characterized by inflammation and fibrosis of the lung's interstitium.

Pathophysiology

ILDs result from an imbalance between injury and repair in the lung parenchyma, leading to fibrotic changes.

Clinical Presentation

Patients typically present with progressive dyspnea and non-productive cough. Radiographic findings often show diffuse interstitial infiltrates.

Management

Management strategies include treating underlying causes, managing symptoms, and in severe cases, lung transplantation.

Conclusion

Understanding ILDs' complex nature is crucial for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment, thereby improving patient outcomes.
