Abstract

Traditionally, a subset of patients diagnosed as having idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis had positive results on cellular biopsies (prominent lymphoplasmacytic inflammation), bronchoalveolar lavage lymphocytosis, a clinical response to steroids, and a better long-term prognosis. On review of the lung histopathology, the lesion was characterized by varying degrees of inflammation and fibrosis. This entity is now recognized as a distinct entity among idiopathic interstitial pneumonias.

摘要

传统上，一小部分被诊断为特发性肺纤维化的患者的细胞活检结果呈阳性（明显的淋巴浆细胞炎症）、支气管肺泡灌洗液淋巴细胞增多、对类固醇有临床反应和长期预后较好。回顾肺部组织病理学，病变的特征是不同程度的炎症和纤维化。该实体现在被认为是特发性间质性肺炎中的一个独特实体。
