Abstract

ILDs represent a heterogeneous group of parenchymal lung diseases. Outcomes vary considerably and range from spontaneous reversibility to progressive pulmonary fibrosis. Timely identification and management are crucial for patients' quality of life and survival. However, diagnosis is often challenging and thus referral to specialised centres is of paramount importance. This chapter aims to provide an introduction to epidemiology, classification, pathogenesis, clinical features, diagnosis and management of ILDs, as well as to novel developments in the field.
