Abstract

The term inhalational lung disease comprises a group of entities that develop secondary to the active aspiration of particles. Most are occupational lung diseases. Inhalational lung diseases are classified as occupational diseases (pneumoconiosis, chemical pneumonitis), hypersensitivity pneumonitis, and electronic-cigarette-associated lung diseases. The radiologic findings often consist of nonspecific interstitial patterns that can be difficult to interpret. Therefore, radiologists’ experience and multidisciplinary teamwork are key to ensure correct evaluation. The role of the radiologist is fundamental in preventive measures as well as in diagnosis and management, having an important impact on patients’ overall health. It is crucial to take into account patients’ possible exposure to particles both at work and at home.

Resumen

Las enfermedades inhalatorias son un grupo de entidades secundarias a la aspiración activa de partículas. La mayoría se produce en el ámbito laboral. Se clasifican en enfermedades ocupacionales (neumoconiosis, neumonitis química), neumonitis por hipersensibilidad y enfermedad pulmonar asociada al uso de cigarrillos electrónicos. En muchas ocasiones los hallazgos radiológicos son patrones intersticiales inespecíficos de difícil interpretación. Por lo tanto, es clave una evaluación global correctamente integrada en los equipos multidisciplinares, donde la radiología realizada por profesionales con experiencia desempeña un papel fundamental tanto en el diagnóstico y el manejo, como en las medidas de prevención, con repercusión importante sobre la salud global de los pacientes. Es fundamental tener en cuenta las posibles exposiciones tanto laborales como domésticas a las que puedan estar expuestos los pacientes.
