Interstitial Lung Disease: Early Diagnosis & Treatment | Dr. Mohana Krishnan | Apollo Hospitals

Dr. Mohana Krishnan, a pulmonologist, explains Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD), a condition often diagnosed late due to symptoms like persistent dry cough and breathing difficulty that may be mistaken for asthma or other illnesses. Many patients come to the hospital at advanced stages, making the disease difficult to treat. High-risk groups include patients with connective tissue disorders undergoing rheumatological treatment, heavy smokers, and those exposed to allergens such as pigeons and exotic birds, which can cause hypersensitivity pneumonitis. This recurrent antigen exposure damages the lungs progressively. Early diagnosis through high-resolution CT scans and lung function tests is crucial to quantify lung damage and guide treatment. Timely intervention can improve prognosis, prevent irreversible lung damage, and enhance quality of life for patients suffering from ILD.
