bronchiectasis
47 yo pt has DOE, inspiratory crackles, tachypnea and radiographs show ground glass and fibrosis worsening over months
non-specific interstitial pneumonia
Smoker has metaplasia of bronchioles and filling of the alveoli
respiratory bronchiolitis
Pt has dyspnea. Xray shows ground glass, small nodules mainly on upper lobes, egg shell calcification
silocosis

small cell

hypersensitivity pneumonitis
PE of pt shows decreased resonance, pleural rub and mediastinal rub
pleural effusion
Pt is in shock, w. shortness of breath. PE: decreased breath sounds, tracheal shift, hyper resonance
