[Airway-centered interstitial fibrosis related to exposure to fumes from cleaning products].
Airway-centered interstitial fibrosis is a little known clinical entity that has only recently been described in the literature. Its pathology is characterized by bronchial fibrosis and localized interstitial pulmonary fibrosis around the airways. The disease has been associated with inhalation of a variety of substances, environmental or occupational, organic or inorganic. Clinical signs, radiographic manifestations, and lung function in patients with airway-centered interstitial fibrosis are similar to those of patients with idiopathic interstitial pneumonia. We describe a case of airway-centered interstitial fibrosis related to exposure to fumes from cleaning products.
