Overview
Overview
According to American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society (ATS/ERS) 2002 consensus, Acute interstitial pneumonitis is an entity of a group of Idiopathic interstitial lung diseases. The classification is based on clinical, radiological and histopathologic findings. The classification has been updated by ATS/ERS International multidisciplinary panel recently based on the literature review on idiopathic interstitial lung diseases published between 2000-2011.
Classification
Classification
- According to American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society (ATS/ERS) 2002 consensus, Acute interstitial pneumonitis is a variant of a group of Idiopathic interstitial lung diseases.[1][2]
- This classification divides Idiopathic interstitial pneumonias into 7 clinicopathological entities.
- Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF)
- Nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP)
- Respiratory bronchiolitis-associated interstitial lung disease
- Respiratory bronchiolitis-associated lung disease/desquamative interstitial pneumonia
- Cryptogenic organizing pneumonia
- Acute interstitial pneumonia
- Lymphocytic interstitial pneumonia (LIP)
- American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society (ATS/ERS) panel classification of Idiopathic interstitial lung diseases has been updated recently,including changes to previously described clinical entities, describing new clinical entities, and describing new histologic patterns using literature review between 2000-2011.[3]
- Revised classification of American thoracic society/European respiratory society international multidisciplinary panel of Idiopathic interstitial pneumonias:
- Major idiopathic interstitial pneumonias
- Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
- Idiopathic nonspecific interstitial pneumonia
- Respiratory bronchiolitis–interstitial lung disease
- Desquamative interstitial pneumonia
- Cryptogenic organizing pneumonia
- Acute interstitial pneumonia
- Rare idiopathic interstitial pneumonias
- Idiopathic lymphoid interstitial pneumonia
- Idiopathic pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis
- Unclassifiable idiopathic interstitial pneumonia
- Major idiopathic interstitial pneumonias
