Purpose Of Review: The management of histologically benign central airway obstruction (CAO) is complex. Published studies have focused on the diagnostic approaches and therapeutic options provided by specific specialties, but there has been no focus on multidisciplinary management of this disease. Our objective is to review the current diagnostic and therapeutic modalities available for managing nonmalignant CAO from a multidisciplinary perspective involving otolaryngology, thoracic surgery and interventional bronchoscopists.

- Interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) include over 200 types, with a growing focus on fibrosing lung diseases due to new therapies, but less common ILDs also need attention because of their poor prognosis.
- This review provides an updated overview of rare ILDs, including idiopathic interstitial pneumonias, genetic disorders like Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome, and conditions associated with lymphoid tissue proliferation, such as follicular bronchiolitis.
- Despite their rarity, improved recognition of imaging and pathology is enhancing our understanding, but these ILDs still pose diagnostic challenges and lack established treatments, highlighting the need for more research.
Background: The role of bronchoscopy in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a matter of debate.
Patients And Methods: This observational multicentre study aimed to analyse the prognostic impact of bronchoscopic findings in a consecutive cohort of patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19. Patients were enrolled at 17 hospitals from February to June 2020.
Background: Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is a disease that is associated with severe uncontrolled eosinophilic asthma. Eosinophils play an important pathogenic role in the development of both diseases. Benralizumab is an antieosinophilic monoclonal antibody that binds to the α subunit of the human interleukin 5 receptor that is expressed on the surface of the eosinophil and basophil.
