The term "children's interstitial lung disease" (chILD) refers to a heterogeneous group of rare and diffuse lung diseases associated with significant morbidity and mortality. These disorders include neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia of infancy, pulmonary interstitial glycogenosis, surfactant dysfunction mutations, and alveolar capillary dysplasia with misalignment of pulmonary veins. Diagnosis can be challenging, which may lead to a delay in recognition and treatment of these disorders. Recently, International Classifications of Diseases, Ninth Revision codes have been added for several of the chILD disorders. The purpose of this article is to give an overview of the chILD disorders and appropriate diagnostic coding.
“儿童间质性肺病”（chILD）这一术语是指一组异质性的罕见弥漫性肺病，与较高的发病率和死亡率相关。这些疾病包括婴儿期神经内分泌细胞增生、肺间质糖原沉积症、表面活性剂功能障碍突变以及肺静脉错位的肺泡毛细血管发育不良。诊断具有挑战性，这可能导致这些疾病的识别和治疗延迟。最近，第九版国际疾病分类增加了几种 chILD 疾病的代码。本文旨在概述 chILD 疾病和适当的诊断编码。
