Diffuse apical pneumonia?

summary

Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is the general term of clinical pathological entity, which is composed of diffuse lung parenchyma, alveolitis and interstitial fibrosis as basic pathological changes, active dyspnea, diffuse shadow on chest X-ray, restrictive ventilation disorder, decreased diffusion function (DLCO) and hypoxemia as clinical manifestations. ILD is usually not malignant and is not caused by known infectious pathogens. Secondary infection can have mucus sputum, with obvious weight loss, fatigue, anorexia, limb joint pain and other systemic symptoms, acute stage can be accompanied by fever. Diffuse apical pneumonia? Let's talk about it

Diffuse apical pneumonia?

ILD is usually not malignant and is not caused by known infectious pathogens. Although there is an acute stage of the disease, the onset is often insidious, and the course of the disease is chronic. The body's initial reaction to the disease is inflammatory reaction in the lung and alveolar wall, leading to alveolitis. Finally, the inflammation will spread to the adjacent interstitial parts and blood vessels, resulting in interstitial fibrosis, resulting in scar formation and lung tissue damage, and reducing ventilation function, Inflammation can also involve the trachea, bronchi, often with organizing pneumonia, is also a manifestation of interstitial pneumonia.

Shortness of breath, cyanosis, Velcro rales (continuous, high-profile crackles) in the middle and lower parts of both lungs, clubbing fingers and toes, among which Velcro rales are the most characteristic.

There are many common features in this group of diseases, including similar symptoms, X-ray signs and pulmonary function examination. Secondary infection can have mucus sputum, with obvious weight loss, fatigue, anorexia, limb joint pain and other systemic symptoms, acute stage can be accompanied by fever.

matters needing attention

Sleep is to ensure health, adhere to the appropriate physical exercise, not only can regulate the heart and lung, properly improve lung function, but also help to enhance the immune function of various tissues and organs and the body's ability to resist cold stimulation.
