In ultrasound-guided needle biopsy for peripheral lung lesions, using a combination of linear and non-linear puncture techniques and keeping away from necrotic areas and large blood vessels, may help to increase the success rate and reduce the incidence of complications further. Reported data on the disease spectrum of interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) of China are sparse and varied. We aimed to investigate the spectrum of ILDs and the distribution of diagnostic methods under a uniform diagnosis. This retrospective study enrolled ILDs cases from Guangzhou Institute of Respiratory Health (GIRH). All cases were classified into specific subgroups of ILDs according to updated guidelines. A total of 1,945 subjects were enrolled from January 2012 to December 2017. The mean age was 57.9 years, and 1,080 (55.5%) patients were male. The most common subtype of ILDs was idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF, 20.3%), followed by interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features (IPAF, 17.9%), connective tissue disease associated ILD (CTD-ILD, 18.3%) and unclassifiable idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (UIIP, 14.7%). A total of 818 (42.1%) patients underwent lung biopsy in order to obtain a histological diagnose. TBLB was performed in 565 (29.0%) patients, eleven of whom underwent SLB because TBl information may help to establish diagnostic algorithm in ILD. The annual seasonal influenza epidemics in the winter season lead to many hospital admissions, increasing risks of nosocomial infections. Infectious diseases caused by contagious respiratory pathogens also pose a great risk to hospitals as has been seen in the current epidemic by a novel coronavirus infection. Such risk occurs in high density patient settings with few or no partitions, since the pathogens are transmitted by aerosols discharged from the patients. Possible interventions against the transmission
