[Diagnosis of interstitial pneumopathies in infants (author's transl)]. 1979

J Couvreur, and G Tournier, and G Le Moing, and J Gerbeaux

The authors discuss the etiological features of interstitial pneumopathies, with particular emphasis on their characteristics in the newborn and in immunodeficient children, and review the diagnostic findings : clinical and radiological signs, functional disturbances, and results of pulmonary biopsy. The results of 154 needle biopsies in 124 children aged 1 month to 16 years are described. In 103 cases a diffuse pneumopathy was present and 80 % of the biopsies were successful. Precise diagnosis could be made from the histology specimen in 22 cases out of the 82 examined, while in 60 of these cases the specimen could be identified.
