==Overview==
'''Hamman-Rich syndrome''' is a rare, severe lung disease which usually affects otherwise healthy individuals.


HR syndrome is often categorized as both an [[interstitial lung disease]] and a form of [[acute respiratory distress syndrome]] (ARDS).
==[[Hamman-Rich syndrome overview|Overview]]==


== Symptoms ==
==[[Hamman-Rich syndrome historical perspective|Historical Perspective]]==
The most common symptoms of Hamman-Rich syndrome are [[cough]], [[fever]], and [[shortness of breath|difficulties breathing]]. These often occur over a period of one to two weeks before medical attention is sought. Difficulties breathing can quickly progress to an inability to breathe without support ([[respiratory failure]]).


Hamman-Rich syndrome typically progresses rapidly, with hospitalization and mechanical ventilation often required only days to weeks after initial symptoms of [[cough]], [[fever]], and [[shortness of breath|difficulties breathing]] develop.
==[[Hamman-Rich syndrome classification|Classification]]==


== Diagnosis ==
==[[Hamman-Rich syndrome pathophysiology|Pathophysiology]]==
Rapid progression from initial symptoms to respiratory failure is a key feature of Hamman-Rich syndrome. An x-ray which shows ARDS is necessary for diagnosis (fluid in the small air sacs ([[alveoli]]) in both lungs). In addition, a [[biopsy]] of the lung which shows organizing diffuse alveolar damage is required for diagnosis. Other diagnostic tests are useful excluding other similar condition, but history, x-ray, and biopsy are necessary. These other tests may include basic blood work, blood cultures, and [[bronchoalveolar lavage]].


== Treatment ==
==[[Hamman-Rich syndrome causes|Causes]]==
Treatment of HR syndrome is primarily supportive. Management in an [[intensive care unit]] is required and the need for [[mechanical ventilation]] is common. Therapy with [[corticosteroids]] is generally attempted, though their usefulness has not been established as of 2005.


== Epidemiology ==
==[[Hamman-Rich syndrome differential diagnosis|Differentiating Hamman-Rich syndrome from other Diseases]]==
HR syndrome occurs most frequently among people older than forty years old. It affects men and women equally. There are no known risk factors; in particular, [[tobacco smoking|smoking]] is not associated with increased risk.


== Prognosis ==
==[[Hamman-Rich syndrome epidemiology and demographics|Epidemiology and Demographics]]==
Sixty percent of people with HR syndrome will die in the first six months of illness. However, most people who have one episode do not have a second. People who survive often recover lung function completely.


== History ==
==[[Hamman-Rich syndrome risk factors|Risk Factors]]==
HR syndrome was first described in 1935 by [[Louis Hamman]] and Arnold Rich.
