Childhood Interstitial Lung Diseases: What’s New and What’s Next
3401 Civic Center Blvd, Philadelphia, PA 19104
Date:
May 3, 2022 from 8 a.m. - 9 a.m. (ET)
Overview
Childhood interstitial lung diseases comprise a large number of heterogeneous disorders that are associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Achieving a specific pulmonary diagnosis can be challenging, as children with disparate types of lung disease present with overlapping clinical symptoms and nonspecific radiologic findings of diffuse lung disease. Treatment and prognosis varies based on disease etiology, underscoring the importance of accurate diagnosis. This seminar will review the clinical presentations, diagnostic algorithms, including use of genetic testing and lung biopsy, and provide an overview of disease management and new therapeutic approaches.
