The term "usual" refers to the fact that UIP is the most common form of interstitial fibrosis. "Pneumonia" indicates "lung abnormality", which includes fibrosis and inflammation. A term previously used for UIP in the British literature is cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis (CFA), a term that has fallen out of favor since the basic underlying ...
Other names: Fibrosing alveolitis, cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis, diffuse fibrosing alveolitis, usual interstitial pneumonitis, diffuse interstitial pneumonitis: Figure A shows the location of the lungs and airways in the body. The inset image shows a detailed view of the lung's airways and air sacs in cross-section.

Not all types of interstitial lung disease that occur in adults occur also in children, and vice versa. [4] [5] The group of disorders is heterogenous, and there are different definitions of what exactly should be classed as a ChILD disorder. [1] Childhood interstitial lung disease is a serious condition, with high morbidity and mortality.
Idiopathic interstitial pneumonia or noninfectious pneumonia [52] is a class of diffuse lung diseases. They include diffuse alveolar damage , organizing pneumonia , nonspecific interstitial pneumonia , lymphocytic interstitial pneumonia , desquamative interstitial pneumonia , respiratory bronchiolitis interstitial lung disease , and usual ...
