The idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (IIPs) are further divided into seven groups based on pathologic findings: usual interstitial pneumonitis (UIP), nonspecific interstitial pneumonitis (NSIP), desquamative interstitial pneumonitis (DIP), respiratory bronchiolitis-ILD (RB-ILD), acute interstitial pneumonitis (AIP), lymphocytic interstitial pneumonitis (LIP) and bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP). The lung histopathology in six of the infants with ABCA3 mutations in the initial study (5) was interpreted as desquamative interstitial pneumonitis (DIP), a form of pediatric ILD (pILD). First, ABCA3 was sequenced from DNA samples of children with desquamative interstitial pneumonitis who were older than 10 years at the time of enrollment. |
