Is acute interstitial pneumonia contagious

summary

Acute interstitial pneumonia is a rare but rapidly developing disease. And acute interstitial pneumonia is a very dangerous disease, the probability of death is very high. Now let's talk about whether acute interstitial pneumonia can be transmitted.

Is acute interstitial pneumonia contagious

First, there is no infection of interstitial pneumonia. Interstitial pneumonia is also known as pulmonary fibrosis, fibrous alveolitis. Is interstitial pneumonia contagious? Human exposure to various pathogenic microorganisms such as dust, smoke and virus can cause acute inflammatory reaction of alveoli, further stimulate the proliferation of human fibroblast vesicles, increase the synthesis of collagen, and then form chronic pulmonary fibrosis.

Second, interstitial pneumonia is not infectious. Although interstitial pneumonia is not infectious, it is better for patients to take some protective measures when they go out or go to public places, in order to avoid being invaded by external bacteria and virus infection.

Third: it's not contagious. Interstitial pneumonia is the interstitial tissue inflammation of the lung. The inflammation mainly invades the bronchial wall and alveolar wall, especially the connective tissue of high peripheral blood vessels, high peripheral interlobular and alveolar septum. Interstitial pneumonia is mostly caused by viruses, mainly adenovirus, respiratory syncytial virus, influenza virus, parainfluenza virus, measles virus, etc.

matters needing attention

When patients suffer from acute interstitial pneumonia, it is usually accompanied by a series of adverse symptoms such as dyspnea, fatigue and respiratory failure. And because the mortality of this disease is very high, so patients had better cooperate with the treatment timely and actively.
