Idiopathic fibrosing alveolitis: a review with emphasis on ultrastructural and immunohistochemical features

S P Hammar et al. Ultrastruct Pathol. 1985.

Abstract

Fibrosing alveolitis is a usually chronic pulmonary disease affecting middle-aged men and women and causing progressive dyspnea. This review discusses the nosologic, etiologic, immunopathogenic, histologic, immunohistochemical and ultrastructural features of this condition. A hypothesis is presented suggesting microvascular damage as the primary pathologic change in cases associated with collagen vascular diseases and viral pneumonia.
