Dr. Sudarshan Gupta, Dr. Rahul Kumar Jain

Abstract :

Significant progress has been made in recent years in understanding the epidemiology of interstitial lung diseases (ILD) across the world, but the amount of information available is still small compared to other respiratory diseases like obstructive lung diseases or lung cancer. In this study we tried to explore the epidemiology of ILD, by describing a retrospectively collected data of newly diagnosed ILD cases in a tertiary care centre of central India over two years. The collected data was entered in excel sheet and analysed.Atotalof 82 retrospectively collected patients requiring a onchoscopy were enrolled, 83diagnostic procedures were done among 82 patients, in which,82 oncho alveolar lavages (BAL) with trans–onchial biopsies, and only one surgical lungbiopsy was included.The most common diagnosis was sarcoidosis followed by non specific interstitial pneumonitis and occupational lung diseases, being more common in males than in females.
