Allergic diseases in the lungs.

D S Feigin

    Critical Reviews in Diagnostic Imaging
    |January 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    Understanding four basic immune reactions in the lung is key to diagnosing allergic lung diseases like asthma and hypersensitivity pneumonitis. This framework links immune responses to clinical, pathologic, and roentgenographic findings.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Pulmonary Medicine
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Allergic lung diseases stem from complex immune responses within the pulmonary system.
    • Recognizing distinct immune mechanisms is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To elucidate the four fundamental immune reactions in the lung.
    • To correlate these immune mechanisms with specific allergic lung diseases.
    • To explain the clinical, pathological, and radiological features of these conditions.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of basic immune reactions: immediate hypersensitivity, antibody-mediated disease, immune complex-mediated hypersensitivity, and cell-mediated immunity.
    • Correlation of immune responses with characteristic roentgenographic findings.
    • Application of this framework to understand common allergic lung diseases.

    Main Results:

    • Immediate hypersensitivity: airway obstruction, hypersecretion, bronchospasm (airway disease on imaging).
    • Cytotoxic antibody-mediated disease: airspace filling by hemorrhage.
    • Immune complex-mediated hypersensitivity: patchy consolidation and interstitial patterns.
    • Cell-mediated immunity: granulomatous reactions (nodules, masses, lymphadenopathy).

    Conclusions:

    • A foundational understanding of four key immune reactions provides a framework for comprehending diverse allergic lung diseases.
    • This knowledge aids in interpreting clinical, pathological, and radiological manifestations.
    • Specific diseases discussed include asthma, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, and granulomatous conditions.
