MODIFIED HPO DEF: a common histological injury pattern of the lung, whereby the early stages are characterized by epithelial cell necrosis and sloughing, fibrous exudate, edema, and hyaline membranes made of surfactant and proteins, filling the alveoli and resulting in impaired gas exchange; in later stages, type II cells and myofibroblasts proliferate within the interstitium and airspaces; the corresponding clinical entity is ARDS (acute respiratory distress syndrome)
Consider adding new term:
diffuse alveolar damage
see HPO term Diffuse alveolar damage HP:0033006 and discussion in https://github.com/obophenotype/human-phenotype-ontology/issues/5626
