Explanation / Answer

Signs and symptoms of pneumoconiosis typically appear early in the disease. Pneumoconiosis is caused by inhaled inorganic particles. The immune system is involved in all types of fibrotic interstitial lung disease. Sarcoidosis involves multiple granulomas in the lungs, lymph nodes, and other organs. Enzymes secreted by alveolar macrophages damage alveoli and trigger fibrosis in pneumoconiosis. Fibrotic interstitial lung diseases are characterized by decreased residual volume. Farmer’s lung is pneumoconiosis. Hypersensitivity pneumonitis is caused by inhaled organic particles. Silicosis is a hypersensitivity pneumonitis.
