Abstract

Fibrotic interstitial lung disease (ILD) is increasingly recognized as an important cause of chronic pulmonary disease. Although ILDs can be challenging to diagnose and manage, there have been a number of recent developments aimed at improving the accuracy of establishing a confident underlying diagnosis. This Clinical Respiratory Review summarizes recent developments in the diagnostic approach to some of the most common forms of fibrotic ILD, including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis, idiopathic nonspecific interstitial pneumonia, and unclassifiable ILD. In this review, we have summarized international consensus guidelines, working group reports, and other clinically relevant and highly impactful publications.

RÉSUMÉ

La fibrose pulmonaire interstitielle est de plus en reconnue comme une cause importante de maladie pulmonaire chronique. Bien que les fibroses pulmonaires interstitielles puissent être difficiles à diagnostiquer et à prendre en charge, de nombreux développements récents ont permis d’améliorer l’exactitude avec laquelle un diagnostic sous-jacent fiable peut être établi. Cette revue clinique résume les développements récents dans l’approche utilisée pour diagnostiquer certaines formes de fibrose pulmonaire interstitielle, dont la fibrose pulmonaire idiopathique, la pneumopathie d’hypersensibilité chronique, la pneumonie interstitielle idiopathique non spécifique et la fibrose pulmonaire inclassable. Dans cette revue, nous avons résumé des lignes directrices internationales définies par consensus, des rapports de groupes de travail et d’autres publications percutantes cliniquement pertinentes.
