September 11 firefighters?

In my opinion, the inclusion of this trivial piece of information has no place in an article about pulmonary fibrosis. [I mean no disrespect to the firefighters; however pollution and occupational exposure are well-known to induce pulmonary fibrosis.]

I shall try to expand the article. Axl 07:29, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I imagine as the article gets bigger, there'll be "space" for including information about 9/11 and occupational exposures, though admittedly, I'm not as knowledgable about these issues as I could be. Andrew73 01:21, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't this be titled interstitial lung disease?

Shouldn't this article be titled "interstital lung disease." This is the first time I've heard of this condition being referred to as "diffuse parenchymal lung disease." Andrew73 02:23, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No. I previously moved the article to "diffuse parenchymal lung disease". This in accordance with the British Thoracic Society and American Thoracic Society guidelines. DPLD is a more accurate name than ILD, because these diseases affect the alveoli and capillaries as well as the interstitium.

If you do a search on the ATS website for "interstitial lung disease" [1], you come up with 161 hits compared to 24 hits for "diffuse parenchymal lung disease." At least in the US, and while I'm not a pulmonary specialist, I bet more people are familiar with the term ILD than DPLD. Andrew73 20:16, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

err... Anyone want to add that DPLD stands for diffuse parenchymal lung disease to the article. Especially since DPLD is used in the article a couple times? Ksheka 13:34, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pulmonary Fibrosis

Pulmonary fibrosis is not synonymous with ILD. Therefore, it should have its own page and not just redirect to ILD.

Where did the link to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis go? The link just goes back to the main ILD page. I remember editing the IPF page with specific treatments, etc. but now that page seems to have been deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jeffjenn (talk • contribs) 20:48, 24 January 2007

Graham87 changed it to redirect. Axl 07:57, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Section in wrong article?

Should this section below be moved to pulmonary fibrosis? Mikael Häggström (talk) 08:30, 25 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Bronchiolitis obliterans

Bronchiolitis obliterans is also an interstitial lung disease. Can we add it here somewhere? I'm not sure where to put it. Thanks Chrissy385 20:47, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
