Overview

[Disease name] must be differentiated from other diseases that cause [clinical feature 1], [clinical feature 2], and [clinical feature 3], such as [differential dx1], [differential dx2], and [differential dx3].

Differentiating Acute interstitial pneumonitis from other Diseases

• Acute interstitial pneumonitis present with acute onset of respiratory symptoms resulting in severe hypoxia and respiratory failure.
• Any acute lung disease presenting with respiratory failure and show diffuse infiltrates on radiograph should be included in the differential diagnosis of acute interstitial pneumonitis.
  • Acute respiratory distress syndrome
  • Acute eosinophilic pneumonia
  • Acute hypersensitivity pneumonitis
  • Acute cryptogenic organizing pneumonia
  • Congestive heart failure
  • Acute exacerbation of Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
  • Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage:
    • Vasculitis-induced:
      • Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome
      • Behcet’s syndrome
      • Goodpasture’s syndrome
      • Microscopic polyangiitis
      • Wegener’s granulomatosis
    • Bland hemorrhage
      • coagulopathy
      • idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis
      • Mitral stenosis
  • Drug toxicity
  • Infection
  • Inhalation/toxic exposures
