Scope note: Grupo variado de enfermedades del pulmón que afecta al parénquima pulmonar. Se caracterizan por una inflamación inicial de los ALVEOLOS PULMONARES que se extiende al intersticio conduciendo a FIBROSIS PULMONAR difusa. Las enfermedades pulmonares intersticiales se clasifican según su etiología (causas conocidas o desconocidas) y las manifestaciones patológicas radiológicas.

Scope note: A diverse group of lung diseases that affect the lung parenchyma. They are characterized by an initial inflammation of PULMONARY ALVEOLI that extends to the interstitium and beyond leading to diffuse PULMONARY FIBROSIS. Interstitial lung diseases are classified by their etiology (known or unknown causes), and radiological-pathological features.
