Honeycomb Lung Causes


Honeycomb Lung Causes (A-Z):
  • Acute interstitial pneumonitis survivors
  • Allergic alveolitis
  • Bronchiectasis (cystic fibrosis)
  • Collagen diseases (rheumatoid disease, scleroderma)
  • Drug-induced (bleomycin, cyclophosphamide, nitrofurantoin)
  • Eosinophilic granuloma
  • Neurofibromatosis
  • Non-specific interstitial pneumonitis (uncommonly)
  • Pneumoconiosis (asbestosis)
  • Sarcoidosis
  • Usual interstitial pneumonitis
