Children’s Diffuse and Interstitial Lung Disease

Timothy J. Vece, MD

Introduction/Epidemiology/Pathophysiology

The Basics

Children’s diffuse and interstitial lung disease (hereafter referred to as “children’s ILD”) is a heterogeneous group of individually rare disorders of the lung that can manifest at any age during childhood.

Interstitial lung disease and diffuse lung disease are often used interchangeably to describe these disorders.

Epidemiology

Disease prevalence ranges from 0.13 to 16.2 cases per 100,000 children. The range is large because there is no agreed-upon list of children’s ILD disorders. The classification schemes proposed by Deutsch et al in 2007 and Fan et al in 2015 are the most widely accepted (Box 85-1).

There is no known racial or ethnic predisposition for any of the common children’s ILD disorders.

The prevalence of specific disorders varies by age group.

Pathophysiology

Alveoli and supporting cells of the lungs (interstitium) are most often affected. Exceptions are neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia of infancy (NEHI) and bronchiolitis obliterans, which affect the small airways.

Gas exchange of the lung is compromised—most commonly oxygen transfer, which can lead to hypoxemia.

Most disorders are inflammatory and lead to fibrosis of the interstitium and chronic lung disease.

Lung involvement is usually diffuse at imaging (including chest computed tomography [CT]). Some disorders have specific patterns at imaging.

General Clinical Features

Chronic and progressive tachypnea and increased work of breathing are typical.

In infants, failure to thrive may be seen because of the increased caloric demand from the increased work of breathing.

Application of the chILD classification scheme. Ann Am Thorac Soc. 2015;12(10):1498–1505.

Older children often experience shortness of breath that is worse with exercise and progressive in nature.

Hypoxemia is common.

Physical examination often reveals crackles or rales on inspiration. Wheezing is an uncommon finding in most children’s ILD disorders.

Digital clubbing can be present and denotes chronic hypoxemia.

Routine laboratory testing is generally nonspecific in children’s ILD.

Pulmonary hypertension is seen in advanced, severe cases and is a poor prognostic indicator, with up to a fourfold increase in mortality shown in some studies.

General Diagnostic Considerations

A family history of interstitial lung disease or early death is important because a number of children’s ILDs are genetic.

Timing of studies is based on severity of illnesses and age at presentation, with a more aggressive approach advocated for more severe forms

of children’s ILD, where a quick diagnosis is needed for medical decision-making.

Imaging

Chest imaging is the first step in evaluation and usually leads to the suspicion of an interstitial lung process. However, chest CT is preferable to chest radiography because CT (usually thin-section CT) is more sensitive and shows specific patterns that may be helpful in classification.

Patterns at CT may indicate specific diseases (NEHI, bronchiolitis obliterans) or can be suggestive but nonspecific, such as in disorders of surfactant metabolism.

Additional Diagnostic Testing

Lung biopsy is often required for diagnosis.

Certain disorders can be diagnosed without lung biopsy, including NEHI, bronchiolitis obliterans, disorders of surfactant metabolism if genetic changes are present, and alveolar hemorrhage syndromes if there are positive auto-antibodies and a compatible clinical picture.

Genetic testing is becoming increasingly important for diagnosis, particularly in disorders of surfactant metabolism and immune dysregulation.

A screening echocardiogram is recommended because some children’s ILD disorders can manifest with pulmonary hypertension at presentation. In addition, there are cardiac disorders, such as total anomalous pulmonary venous return and pulmonary veno-occlusive disease, that can mimic children’s ILD and need to be ruled out.

Patients with children’s ILD who require supplemental oxygen should undergo yearly echocardiography for evaluation of potential pulmonary hypertension.

Specific Children’s ILDs

Neuroendocrine Cell Hyperplasia of Infancy

History and Symptoms

Specific to young children, with all known cases manifesting symptoms <2 years of age.

Patients generally present <1 year of age, with a typical onset of first symptoms at 2–4 months of age.

Symptoms are often first recognized during a viral respiratory infection; however, the tachypnea and hypoxemia do not resolve after the infection.

Physical Examination

Findings are nonspecific and demonstrate retractions, crackles, and increased diameter of the chest. Digital clubbing is not found, and wheezing is rare and intermittent.

Failure to thrive is often seen because of increased work of breathing.

Imaging

Chest CT shows ground-glass opacities in the right middle lobe, lingula, and medial portion of the upper and lower lobes (see Figure 85-1). This pattern on CT images can be diagnostic in the correct clinical setting and can obviate the need for lung biopsy.

Lung Biopsy

Lung biopsy, when required for diagnosis in atypical cases, shows increased neuroendocrine cells surrounding the small airways.

Treatment

Treatment is supportive because there are no known effective therapies for NEHI.

Prognosis

Long-term prognosis is excellent—there are no reported deaths caused by NEHI.

Significant morbidity is associated with chronic hypoxemia and exercise intolerance in children with NEHI that generally improves over time.

Disorders of Surfactant Metabolism

For a full discussion, see Chapter 66, Surfactant Metabolism Disorders, Including Surfactant Protein Deficiencies.

General Surfactant Biology

Surfactant lines the alveoli and reduces surface tension, allowing for easier maintenance of patency of the alveoli and decreased work of breathing.

Note the ground-glass opacities in the right middle lobe and lingual (asterisks)—a finding consistent with NEHI in the proper clinical picture. Image from Brody AS, Guillerman RP, Hay TC, et al. Neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia of infancy: diagnosis with high-resolution CT. AJR Am J Roentgenol. 2010;194(1):238–244. Reprinted with permission from the American Journal of Roentegenology.

Surfactant is composed primarily of phospholipids and specific proteins that either aid in surfactant structure or are part of the innate immunity of the lung.

Surfactant proteins B and C, along with a trafficking protein called member A3 of the adenosine triphosphate–binding cassette family (ABCA3), as well as a transcription factor called thyroid transcription factor 1 (TTF-1), are implicated in children’s ILD disorders.

ABCA3 likely plays a role in packaging and delivering surfactant into the apical membrane of the alveolar cells.

Specific Disorders of Surfactant Metabolism

Surfactant protein B (SPB) is encoded by the SFTPB gene. Surfactant protein deficiency is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern.

Deficiency results in severe disease, with onset of symptoms in the neonatal period. Most patients die or require lung transplantation by 1 month after birth.

Surfactant protein C (SPC) is encoded by the SFTPC gene and is inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion.

SPC deficiency has a variable presentation, with patients presenting from infancy to adulthood. There is also a variable outcome, with some patients progressing to severe chronic lung disease in early childhood.

ABCA3 disease is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern.

ABCA3 disease has a variable prognosis, with some patients having a severe SPB deficiency–like presentation, while others have a more chronic course, such as in SPC deficiency.

Diagnostic Considerations: Imaging

Imaging patterns are nonspecific but can be suggestive of a disorder of surfactant metabolism. Chest CT is preferred to chest radiography.

Young children often have diffuse ground-glass opacities with septal thickening (see Figure 85-2).

Older children have fewer areas of ground-glass opacities and have increased areas of fibrosis on chest CT images.

Diagnostic Considerations: Genetics

Genetic testing is available for SPB, SPC, ABCA3, and NKX2.1, a newer gene that encodes TTF-1 (Table 85-1).

Results are generally available in 2–4 weeks and can provide prognostic information in some cases.

Genetic testing is preferred if there is a family history of a disorder of surfactant metabolism.

Results are only positive in 70%–80% of surfactant cases. A lung biopsy may still be necessary.

Diagnostic Considerations: Lung Biopsy

Lung biopsy findings have specific patterns that are associated with disorders of surfactant metabolism.

Electron microscopy should be performed on all lung biopsy samples for which a disorder of surfactant metabolism is suspected, because it can have specific defects in SPB and ABCA3.

All lung biopsy findings should be reviewed by a pediatric pathologist with experience in children’s ILD disorders.

Treatment

No treatment has been well studied for any of the disorders of surfactant metabolism.

Systemic steroids (typically administered as monthly pulse steroids), chronic azithromycin, hydroxychloroquine, or some combination have been tried with varying degrees of success.

When to Refer

All patients with a suspected children’s ILD disorder should be referred to a pediatric pulmonologist who has experience in treating these disorders.

When to Admit

Patients should be admitted for worsening respiratory symptoms or increased supplemental oxygen requirement.

In general, these patients have chronic, severe lung disease and require frequent hospitalizations.

Often, patients require hospitalization to establish the diagnosis.

Clinical Pearls

Children with NEHI often appear much more ill than their image findings suggest.

Oxygen saturation levels are often on the low side of normal (92%–95%), which should raise suspicion for NEHI.

Most children with disorders of surfactant metabolism present in the first 12 months of life.
