Interstitial lung diseases very often do not only affect the lung tissue, but are part of multisystem diseases.

It is obvious that the approach to a patient with life-threatening disease or acute onset of symptoms differently then patients with slow disease onset or "accidentally" detected lung abnormalities. The presented manuscript brings a differential diagnostic approach to facilitate orientation in the field of interstitial ling diseases.
