PALACIOS, Zunilda et al. Diffuse interstitial lung diseases associated with smoking. Rev. cient. cienc. salud [online]. 2024, vol.6, e5209.  Epub 06-Mar-2024. ISSN 2664-2891.  https://doi.org/10.53732/rccsalud/2023.e5209.

Questioning about smoking habits should never be ignored, since the range of inherent diagnostic possibilities is wide. It is a fundamental clinical step facing individuals who consult for symptoms and/or casual radiological findings. We present three clinical cases: the combined syndrome of pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema, desquamative interstitial pneumonitis, and Langerhans cell histiocytosis, as part of the range of tobacco-associated diffuse interstitial lung diseases (EPIDAT), where high-resolution chest tomography has a prominent role.

Palabras clave : smoking; emphysema; interstitial lung diseases; Langerhans cell histiocytosis.
