Overview

This book is a comprehensive guide to all aspects of interstitial lung diseases (ILDs), providing scientific and clinical information.

Beginning with the history of interstitial lung diseases, the following chapters examine both common ILDs, for example, idiopathic interstitial pneumonia, non-specific interstitial pneumonitis (NSIP) and sarcoidosis; and uncommon ILDs, such as lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM), drug-induced lung disease, alveolar proteinosis and eosinophilic lung disease.

Each disease description collates key research examining physiological, pathophysiological, immunological, genetic and molecular advances of interstitial lung disease.

Numerous tables, simple algorithms, chest x-rays, CT features and histological pictures enhance learning.
