The Role of Infection in Interstitial Lung Diseases

Open access

Abstract

Interstitial lung disease (ILD) comprises an array of heterogeneous parenchymal lung diseases that are associated with a spectrum of pathologic, radiologic, and clinical manifestations. There are ILDs with known causes and those that are idiopathic, making treatment strategies challenging. Prognosis can vary according to the type of ILD, but many exhibit gradual progression with an unpredictable clinical course in individual patients, as seen in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and the phenomenon of "acute exacerbation"(AE). Given the often poor prognosis of these patients, the search for a reversible cause of respiratory worsening remains paramount. Infections have been theorized to play a role in ILDs, both in the pathogenesis of ILD and as potential triggers of AE. Research efforts thus far have shown the highest association with viral pathogens; however, fungal and bacterial organisms have also been implicated. This review aims to summarize the current knowledge on the role of infections in the setting of ILD.

  • Interstitial lung disease is described in HEM1-deficient patients without a clear etiology but may be related to viral infections or chronic inflammation.

    “Interstitial lung disease is also described without a clear etiology but may be related to viral infections or chronic inflammation [8, 27].”

    From HEM1 Actin Immunodysregulatory Disorder: Genotypes, Phenotypes, and Future Directions (2022) · cites this paper as [27]

    The Abstract (page unavailable) says some ILDs have unknown causes and that infection may play a role; the Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis > Viruses section (page unavailable) discusses possible viral contributions. The paper does not describe ILD in HEM1-deficient patients, and its description of chronic inflammation as a feature of NSIP does not establish it as a cause in those patients. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
