Granulomatous–lymphocytic interstitial lung disease (GLILD) is a lung complication of common variable immunodeficiency disorders (CVID). It is seen in approximately 15% of patients with CVID. [1] It has been defined histologically as the presence of (non-caseating) granuloma and lymphoproliferation in the lung. [1]
A sarcoidosis-like lung disease called granulomatous–lymphocytic interstitial lung disease can be seen in patients with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) and therefore serum antibody levels should be measured to exclude CVID. [citation needed]
Lymphocytic infiltration to tissues may cause enlargement of lymph nodes (lymphadenopathy), of the spleen (splenomegaly), and of the liver (hepatomegaly), as well as the formation of granulomas. In the lung, this is known as granulomatous–lymphocytic interstitial lung disease.
Lymphomatoid granulomatosis (LYG or LG) is a very rare lymphoproliferative disorder first characterized in 1972. [1] Lymphomatoid means lymphoma-like and granulomatosis denotes the microscopic characteristic of the presence of granulomas with polymorphic lymphoid infiltrates and focal necrosis within it.
White lung syndrome, or white lung pneumonia, is getting attention after an outbreak in Ohio. Experts explain symptoms, causes, treatment, and prevention.

[4] It concerns alveolar epithelium, pulmonary capillary endothelium, basement membrane, and perivascular and perilymphatic tissues. It ...
