They are characteristically diffuse and infiltrative in nature, involving the peribronchovascular interstitium of the lung, although alveolar involvement may occur as well. The author addresses the clinical and radiographic findings of each of these dieseases. The organization of these diseases into a structural framework facilitates understanding of their histologic and radiographic findings, and increases the likelihood that an accurate diagnosis will be made.Wednesday, 10 Jan 2001 14:41:29 GMT
