Q

What causes idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) (aka usual intersitital pneumonia pattern HISTOLOGICALLY)?

A

repeat cycles of injury by an unidentified agent resulting in diffuse fibrosis and inflammation (via TGF-B) resulting in ‘amputation’ of distal airways that, when healing, combine alveoli

21
Q

What happens in pneumoconiosis?

A

particles reach alveoli and are encased by macrophages (so it cant be destroyed) and transported to respiratory bronchioles. Released into tissue when macrophages die, and the particles remain in the lump in foci mostly at the division of the large vessels, under the pleura, and in the hilar lymph nodes

22
Q

Describe simple coal works pneumoconiosis (CWP)

A
  • little or no pulmonary dysfunction

- predominantly in the upper lobe nodules and macules

23
Q

What is the composition of the macules seen in simple CWP?

A

accumulations of dust adjacent to respiratory bronchioles and dilated alveoli

24
Q

What is the composition of the nodules seen in simple CWP?

A

carbon-laden macrophages with collagen

25
Q

Describe complicated coal works pneumoconiosis (CWP)

A

-lung function compromised after several years of simple CWP and get black scare of pigment and dense collagen

26
Q

Complicated CWP is associated with ______.

A

rheumatoid arthritis

27
Q

What causes silicosis?

A

inhalation of silica from sandblasters, mine workers, stone cutting that progresses to nodular fibrosis predominantly in the upper lobes and hilar nodes

28
Q

How does the nodular fibrosis come about in silicosis?

A

silica ingestion by macrophages use release of fibrogenic mediators

29
Q

Silicosis increases susceptibility to ___

A

TB.

30
Q

What things can asbestos exposure cause?

A
  • diffuse pleural fibrosis
  • benign pleural effusions
  • pleural plaques (no asbestos fibers in these lesions)
  • parenchymal interstitial fibrosis (Asbestosis)
31
Q

How does asbestos related disease present?

A

slowly progressive dyspnea after long, heavy exposure due to fibrosis to respiratory bronchioles and alveolar ducts after macrophages try to clear it

32
Q

What category of drugs is known to cause pulmonary fibrosis?

A

chemotherapy drugs (and radiation)

33
Q

Beryllium exposure increases risk of ____

A

lung cancer

34
Q

Beryllium exposure is associated with ____ granulomas in hillier lymph nodes and the lung

A

non-caseating

35
Q

How does sarcoidosis present?

A

insidious onset of SOB

36
Q

T or F. Sarcoidosis responds well to steroids

A

T.

37
Q

How would BAL present?

A

Increased CD4:CD8 (greater than 2.5) due to increased CD4+

38
Q

What causes hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP)?

A

lugn disorder due to prolonged exposure to inhaled organic dust. Chronic form is a type IV (delayed T cell mediated) hypersensitivity

39
Q

Acute hypersensitivity pneumonitis is a type ___ hypersensitivity.

A

III

40
Q

T or F. Removal of environmental antigen can prevent progression to fibrosis

A

T.

Q

What are some thermophilic bacterial antigens causes of HP?

A
  • Farmer’s lung
  • Mushroom worker’s lung
  • Humidifier lung
  • Hot tub lung
43
Q

What are some animal proteins causes of HP?

A
  • Bird fancier’s lung

- Mollusk shell HP

44
Q

What are some fungal antigens causes of HP?

A
  • Malt worker’s lung
  • Cheese washer’s lung
  • Paprika splitter’s lung
  • Maple bark stripper’s lung
45
Q

Features of HP

A
  • airway centered interstitial lymphocytic inflammation
  • loosely formed granulomas and interstitial fibrosis
  • organizing pneumonia
46
Q

T or F. Eosinophils are a feature of HP

A

F.

47
Q

How can you distinguish HP from IPF/UIP?

A

HP is more upper lobe

48
Q

The majority of patients with DIP are ___

A

smokers

49
Q

Pulmonary Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis

A
  • rare (95% smokers)
  • mostly get better after quitting
  • those with BRAF mutations affect more than one tissue
50
Q

Pulmonary Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis

A

positive for Langerin, S-100, CD1a and negative for CD68

cells have a ‘coffee bean’ appearance

51
Q

What happens in Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis?

A

defect in GM-CSF or macrophages results in accumulation of surfactant in alveolar spaces (very pink)

52
Q

Buzzword with Pneumocystis jirovecii?

A

crushed ping pong ball appearance in alveolar spaces
