Alveolitis (Atveolitis)

Alveolitis is a disease associated with inflammation of one or more alveoli in the lungs. Alveoli are small air chambers in the lungs that are responsible for the exchange of gases between blood and air. Chronic inflammation of the walls of the alveoli can be caused by various factors and has different types.

One type of alveolitis, external allergic alveolitis (EAA), is associated with inhalation of organic dust. This can happen when working with birds or farm animals. People who engage in these activities may develop Bird Lover's Lung or Farmer's Lung. They manifest themselves in the form of increased fatigue, cough, shortness of breath, dizziness and other symptoms.

Another type of alveolitis, fibrous alveolitis of unknown origin (FANP), can occur spontaneously. In this case, healthy tissue in the lungs is gradually replaced by damaged connective tissue. This disease can be accompanied by various connective tissue diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis or general sclerosis.

Both types of alveolitis can slowly progress to fibrosis, which can lead to deterioration of lung function. However, they usually respond well to treatment with corticosteroid medications. With timely consultation with a doctor and proper treatment, most patients with alveolitis recover fairly quickly.

Thus, alveolitis is a serious disease that can appear both when working with animals on farms and for no apparent reason. However, thanks to modern diagnostic and treatment methods, most patients with alveolitis have a good chance of a full recovery. If you suspect alveolitis, contact your doctor for advice and treatment.



Alveolitis syndrome (also known as alveolunar toxicosis) is an emergency condition that occurs when chemicals enter the lungs and cause inflammation of the alveoli, the flexible tissue found in the middle of the lungs. Due to the fact that the alveoli



**Alveolitis** is inflammation of the stroma surrounding the alveoli, which is a manifestation of any diffuse lung disease. Alveolitis can be both reversible and irreversible and predisposing factors for bronchial asthma. It can also cause chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. If the process is limited to one or several lobes of the lungs while maintaining the lobar pattern of the pulmonary pattern, this is sinusitis. Inflammation of any alveulus or their group, occurring in various lung diseases, including those associated with allergic reactions, such as nonspecific inflammatory alveolutitis
