Overview

An idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (IIPs) classification faced difficulties as the disease behavior is overlapping which makes it difficult to classify from other pulmonary diseases of heterogenous clinical course.[1] . However the ATS/ERS Classification of 2002 defined seven specific entities provided standardized terminology and diagnostic criteria.Later, many publications General changes have been adopted in the 2007 Statement update by American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society.

2013 Revised ATS/ERC Classification of Idiopathic Interstitial Pneumonias: Multidisciplinary Diagnoses

Major idiopathic interstitial pneumonias

Rare idiopathic interstitial pneumonias

  • Idiopathic lymphoid interstitial pneumonia
  • Idiopathic pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis

Unclassifiable idiopathic interstitial pneumonias

  • Inadequate clinical, radiologic, or pathologic data
  • Major discordance between clinical, radiologic, and pathologic findings that may occur in the following situations
  • Previous therapy resulting in substantial alteration of radiologic or histologic findings (e.g., biopsy of desquamative interstitial pneumonia after steroid therapy, which shows only residual nonspecific interstitial pneumonia.
  • New entity, or unusual variant of recognized entity, not adequately characterized by the current American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society classification (e.g., variant of organizing pneumonia with supervening fibrosis).
  • Multiple high-resolution computed tomography and/or pathologic patterns that may be encountered in patients with idiopathic interstitial pneumonia.[2]
