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

portion of the lung and diffuse abnormalities on lung radiograph. Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a final common pathway of a broad
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 fibrosis, 2(4%) cases had lymph node enlargement and one case had fibrosis, 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
