Impact of Capillaroscopy in the Investigation of Diffuse Interstitial Pneumonias
The investigators hypothesize that in patients with a new diagnosis of Pulmonary Interstitial Disease (PID), adding capillaroscopy to standard care increases the proportion of patients receiving a diagnosis of PID-Connective Tissue Disease (PID-CTD) within the first three months of follow-up, thereby reducing the time to diagnosis and facilitating the implementation of appropriate treatment as quickly as possible. Therefore, To confirm this hypothesis, it is necessary to know the characteristics of capillaroscopy in patients with a new diagnosis of PID.
• Male or female over 18 years of age;
• Have received a new diagnosis of PID within the last six months, confirmed by a pulmonologist;
• Have undergone some specific tests within the last six months (Chest CT scan, respiratory function tests (plethysmography and CO transfer capacity measurement, immunological assessment including: screening for FAN, FR, and anti-CCP);
• French-speaking patient with no comprehension difficulties;
• Person affiliated with or beneficiary of a social security system;
• Free, informed, and written consent signed by the participant and the investigator (no later than the day of inclusion and before any examination required by the research).
