The case is reported of a young woman who suffered from lymphoid interstitial pneumonia. Involvement of the brain by what appeared to be an identical pathological process led to her death, and the orbital tissues were also involved at one stage. The cause of this condition is unknown, but the hypotheses are put forward that it may represent one facet of delayed hypersensitivity or that a slow virus is the responsible aetiological agent. Although lymphoid interstitial pneumonia has previously been reported as an isolated entity, the evidence from this case suggests that it might represent part of pluri-systemic disease.
报告了一例患有淋巴样间质性肺炎的年轻女性病例。看似相同病理过程累及脑部导致其死亡,眼眶组织在某一阶段也受到累及。这种病症的病因尚不清楚,但有人提出假说,认为它可能是迟发型超敏反应的一个方面,或者一种慢病毒是致病病原体。虽然淋巴样间质性肺炎此前曾作为一种孤立病症被报道,但该病例的证据表明它可能是多系统疾病的一部分。
