Overview

Idiopathic interstitial pneumonias are broad subsets of pulmonary diseases due to unidentifiable causes. Therefore, the diagnosis of idiopathic pulmonary pneumonia should lead to a careful clinical workup for the known etiological factors and possible adverse drug reaction before Idiopathic interstitial pneumonia is diagnosed.

The most common collagen vascular disease in the lung that should be excluded first are rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjögren's syndrome, polymyositis, dermatomyositis, progressive systemic sclerosis, and mixed connective tissue disease.

Causes

Life Threatening Causes

Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated.

  • Life threatening causes do not include chronic conditions.
  • Make sure to include the following definition underneath the subheading of every life threatening causes section: Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated.
  • The list of life threatening causes is arranged in alphabetical order.
  • If the page's disease is itself life-threatening, do not add causes in the life-threatening causes section. Instead, write the following sentence under the subheading: Disease name is a life-threatening condition and must be treated as such irrespective of the causes. Life-threatening conditions may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated.

Common Causes

Causes by Organ System

  • To obtain the coding for the table seen below, click here. You need to copy the table content from the edit box, and paste it into the edit box.
  • You can then list the causes by organ system. List the causes, separated by a comma under the appropriate category where it says "No underlying causes". Erase "No underlying causes" if you are listing causes in that category.
  • For an example of the causes by organ system table in a causes microchapter, click here.
