Honeycomb lung syndrome

Introduction to cellular lung syndrome Honeycomb syndrome (honeycomblungsyndrome) refers to a small cystic structure in the lungs that is visible to the naked eye. Its diameter is generally less than 10mm, evenly distributed in the lungs, and is often found on X-ray films. The clinical application of chest CT is The cellular changes in the lungs are more easily identifiable and identifiable. basic knowledge Sickness ratio: 0.0001% Susceptible people: no special people Mode of infection: non-infectious Complications: pulmonary hypertension

Cause of cellular lung syndrome

(1) Causes of the disease

The diseases causing this syndrome include idiopathic diffuse pulmonary interstitial fibrosis, sarcoidosis, asbestosis, rheumatoid pneumonia, multiple pulmonary cysts, and radiation pneumonitis.

(two) pathogenesis

Intrinsic is a late complication of many of the above-mentioned lung diseases, lung function is obviously depleted, ventilation function is reduced, and alveolar capillary block syndrome is formed.

Cellular lung syndrome prevention

Prevent colds and avoid getting cold.

Complications of cellular lung syndrome Complications pulmonary hypertension pneumothorax

Complicated with pulmonary hypertension or pulmonary heart disease, pneumothorax.

Cellular lung syndrome symptoms Common symptoms Difficulty breathing, cellular lung shortness

Progressive aggravation of breathing difficulties, shortness of breath, and finally can be complicated by pulmonary hypertension or pulmonary heart disease, and the corresponding performance, cough, cough-based infection, often accompanied by pneumothorax.

Examination of cellular lung syndrome

In the case of pulmonary infection, peripheral white blood cells can be elevated and granulocytes are also elevated.

Auxiliary examination of the chest X-ray and CT examination showed double, the texture of the wrong lung was enhanced, and the complex and intertwined into a network or a typical honeycomb shape, more common in the lower lung, such as fibrosis, can make the lung volume smaller, diaphragm Move up, you can have a pneumothorax.

Diagnosis and diagnosis of cellular lung syndrome

Diagnosis can be based on clinical manifestations and auxiliary examinations and X-ray features.

Clinical should be differentiated from bronchial pneumonia, obstruction of the lungs.
