(A) Algorithm for hospitalized patient with a negative family history of interstitial lung disease. (B) Algorithm for hospitalized patients with a family history of interstitial lung disease. (C) Algorithm for outpatients with interstitial lung disease. Note the frequent use of computed tomography scans in the diagnosis and the importance of genetic testing, especially in children with a family history of lung disease. BAL = bronchoalveolar lavage; CHD = congenital heart disease; chILD = childhood interstitial lung disease; CF = cystic fibrosis; CVHRCT = controlled-ventilation high-resolution computed tomography; EKG = electrocardiogram; E.M. = electron microscopy; ILD = interstitial lung disease; iPFT = infant pulmonary function testing; NEHI = neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia of infancy.
