Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 4
Abstract
Background- Interstitial lung disease (ILD) consists of a diverse group of disorders that involve the pulmonary parenchyma, Interstitial lung disease may be caused a number of factors such as infections of the lungs; toxins in the environment, certain medications, radiation therapy to the chest, chronic autoimmune diseases: connective tissue diseases. Methods- Present cross sectional, institutional based study was conducted in Radiology department of RIMS, Ranchi between April 2009 to October 2010. A Pre tested semistructured questionnaire was used for interview of patients which were referred from various department. During study period 35 patients, between age group 20 to 70 years of age having History of dyspnea and chronic cough,History of exposure to organic/inorganic dust, Known case of collagenvascular disease(i.e. rheumatoid arthritis), Abnormal lung function test, Abnormal chest radiograph were interviewed and examined. ResultsOut of 35 patients majority were male (82.9%), age group 41-50 years of age (34.2%),belong to low socio economic status (42.8%), having smoking habit (54.3%), moderate severity of dyspnoea(65.7%).ConclusionHRCT is far superior to a radiograph in detecting changes within the interstitium when chest radiograph is normal.
