PG5 - Interstitial lung diseases: selected orphan diseases
Postgraduate CourseChairs: J-F. Cordier (Lyon, France), P. Camus (Dijon, France)
Aims: This is the third course in a three-year postgraduate core curriculum that will have covered some of the rare, as well as the more common, interstitial lung diseases (ILD). Participants can attend a single module, and can view previous courses in the series via the ERS e-learning resources. This third module in the series will provide a detailed update on selected orphan diseases among the interstitial pneumonias.
The specific aims of this third module in the series are:
-to provide information on rare and/or neglected ILD;
-to give a comprehensive review and updated information on alveolar lipoproteinosis including the recent pathogenetic advances and therapeutic orientations;
-to review the clinical and imaging features, and management of lymphangioleiomyomatosis, either sporadic or associated with tuberous sclerosis complex;
-to provide an overview of the idiopathic eosinophilic pneumonias (chronic, acute), as well as of those occurring in Churg-Strauss syndrome and the hypereosinophilic syndrome;
-to review the pulmonary features of Langerhans cell histiocytosis and discuss this disorder within the spectrum of smoking-related ILD.
