Subacute Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis
This classic example of "cellular interstitial pneumonia" has increased
chronic inflammation involving most of the alveolar septa (arrows
on representative areas), producing a blue appearance to the slide
overall. A normal alveolar wall is circled for comparison. At this
magnification, this pattern reasonably could be called "nonspecific
interstitial pneumonia," but a careful search for other features
(such as granulomas) and a complete history are required (for example,
this would be compatible with acute cellular rejection if this were
a transplanted lung). Click here for higher
magnification.
