A model for pulmonary extrinsic allergic
alveolitis. Clin Allergy.
In this study, histopathological analyses have revealed that a single-dose intratracheal silica instillation could produce early acute
alveolitis, characterized by inflammatory cells infiltration into the alveoli, accompanied by early alveolar walls thickening.

Neutrophil activation in fibrosing
alveolitis: a comparison of lone cryptogenic fibrosing
alveolitis and systemic sclerosis.
Toxic
alveolitis after inhalation of a water repellent.
Besides, depletion of AMs also has been found [19] to mitigate lung injury significantly at 4 h after lipopolysaccharide (LPS) administration in mice by attenuating neutrophilic
alveolitis and reducing proinflammatory cytokines.
In the presence of
alveolitis, the surfactant apoproteins (e.g., SP-D and SP-A) are secreted by type II pneumocytes; these apoproteins can be detected in the serum as a biomarker of
alveolitis [20, 21].
ERCs Ameliorate
Alveolitis and Abrogate Collagen Deposition in Lungs.
Ground-glass attenuation correlates with granulomatous lesions in alveolar septa and around small vessels on histopathology, rather than an
alveolitis picture [3].

alveolitis in interstitial lung manifestation in connective tissue diseases: importance of late inspiratory crackles, 67 gallium scan and bronchoalveolar lavage," Lupus, vol.
Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HSP), also known as extrinsic allergic
alveolitis, is a syndrome characterised by granulomatous inflammatory lung disease due to repeated sensitisation from a specific antigen in predisposed individuals (1, 2).
Other studies in occupational environments with high exposure to bioaerosols, have shown that exposure to bioaerosols may cause a wide range of respiratory and mucosal symptoms that vary in severity from mucous membrane irritation to acute or chronic diseases such as toxic
alveolitis (also called organic dust toxic syndrome [ODTS]), and allergic
alveolitis and asthma.

In parallel to the relationship between lung density and disease activity (i.e., between controls, patients treated, and drug-naive patients), [sup.11]C-PK11195 binding would tend to decline according to the disease burden in fibrosing
alveolitis due to systemic sclerosis (FASSc) patients [85].
