Background : Interstitial lung disease (ILD) are group of pulmonary disorders characterized by inflammation and fiosis of gas exchanging

portion of the lung and diffuse abnormalities on lung radiograph. Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a final common pathway of a oad

heterogeneous group of parenchymal lung disorders. Purpose of the study is to assess symptom wise distribution and X ray findings in diagnosis of

Interstitial Lung Disease. All the patients with clinical suspicion of Interstitial Lung Disease who were Material & Methods: referred to

Department of Radio–diagnosis and Imaging for diagnosis and evaluation of subjected to both conventional Radiography and HRCT. Standard

Postero–Anterior view was taken in all cases. Diagnosis was based on clinical and Radiological findings .Results :X–ray finding wise distribution

among 50 cases in study group. Majority of the cases i.e. 18(36%) had pneumonitis, 5(10%) cases had infective etiology, 6 (12%) cases had miliary

tuberculosis, 3(6%) cases had fiosis, 2(4%) cases had lymph node enlargement and one case had fiosis, Pneumonitis and Koch‘s and 12

normal.Conclusion:Most of patients (60%) of ILD showed reticular–nodular opacitiesin X–ray chest. The findings in our study correlates well with

other studies
