Take a visit to this depression era farm where we explore Diffuse Parenchymal Lung Diseases (DPLDs), a group of conditions causing lung tissue inflammation and fibrosis (formerly called Interstitial Lung Disease or ILD). These diseases, often triggered by environmental factors, affect not just the interstitium but also alveoli, airways, and pulmonary vasculature. We cover their diverse presentations, from nonproductive coughs to progressive dyspnea, and discuss diagnostic steps like what to expect on chest xrays (e.g., abnormal interstitial opacities) and CT scans (like honeycombing). Treatment involves addressing the underlying cause and possibly using glucocorticoids, DMARDs, or biologic drugs to target the inflammation.
