What is immune interstitial pneumonia



Immune interstitial pneumonia is a group of diseases characterized by diffuse inflammation and or fibrosis in the lungs.

Immune interstitial pneumonia, also known as autoimmune pneumonia and interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune disease features, is closely related to autoimmune diseases, and some patients may develop systemic autoimmune diseases.

The lack of uniformity in nomenclature has also affected the understanding and clinical research of this type of disease, with some physicians opting for immune-related treatments and others choosing to give respiratory-related treatments.

Patients with immune interstitial pneumonitis are advised to go to a regular hospital, cooperate with the doctor to complete the relevant laboratory tests, and actively cooperate with the doctor to carry out the relevant treatments, avoiding blind use of medication.
