Diagnosis and treatment of cystic lung disease

Abstract: Cystic lung disease (CLD) is a group of lung disorders characterized by the presence of multiple cysts, defined as air-filled lucencies or low-attenuating areas, bordered by a thin wall (usually < 2 mm). The recognition of CLDs has increased with the widespread use of computed tomography. This article addresses the mechanisms of cyst formation and the diagnostic approaches to CLDs. A number of assessment methods that can be used to confirm CLDs are discussed, including high-resolution computed tomography, path… Show more

“…The disorders and processes associated with the new biomarkers identified in this study provide clinical tools for the evaluation and treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infection and disease symptomatology and progression ( Figure 7 ). For example, detection of high HNF3A levels in nonsevere or severe patients suggests their diagnosis and treatment to reduce airway dilatation with production of large cysts associated with function of airway epithelial cells ( 96 ).…”

“…Pneumothorax developed in 66.7% and 75% was recurrent. However, LAM, pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis, lymphocytic interstitial pneumonia/follicular bronchiolitis, and amyloidosis should be considered in patients with multiple lung cysts [5].…”

“…Las enfermedades pulmonares quísticas (EPQ) pueden ser asintomáticas, pero la disnea progresiva, tos y opresión torácica son frecuentes [2]. La EPQ incluye una constelación de trastornos pulmonares que se originan por diversas causas, pero que tienen en común una deformidad quística anatómica [3].…”
