Pneumonitis is a general term that refers to inflammation of lung tissue. Pneumonia is one type of pneumonitis caused by an infection. Pneumonia is an inflammatory illness of the Lung. Frequently it is described as lung Parenchyma / alveolar inflammation and abnormal An infection is the detrimental Colonization of a host Organism by a foreign Species. Many other factors can cause pneumonitis, including breathing in animal dander, inhaling small food particles "down the wrong pipe" and receiving radiation therapy to your chest. ^[1]

Causes

• Pneumonia
• Radiation therapy
• Sepsis
• Adverse reaction to medications
• Hypersensitivity to inhaled agents^[2]

Classifications

In the ICD-10 Chapter X: Diseases of the respiratory system Pneumonitis is classified into:

• (J67.) Hypersensitivity pneumonitis due to organic dust
  • (J67.0) Farmer's lung
  • (J67.1) Bagassosis
  • (J67.2) Bird fancier's lung
  • (J67.3) Suberosis
  • (J67.4) Maltworker's lung
  • (J67.5) Mushroom-worker's lung
  • (J67.6) Maple-bark-stripper's lung
  • (J67.7) Air-conditioner and humidifier lung
  • (J67.8) Hypersensitivity pneumonitis due to other organic dusts
  • (J67.9) Hypersensitivity pneumonitis due to unspecifiedorganic dust
