Categories of chILD
There are many discrete disorders that fit under the “chILD” umbrella, but they all fall under distinct categories, some of which are primary and typically manifest in infancy, and some that are secondary and due to another cause.

- Alveolar capillary dysplasia with misalignment of pulmonary veins
- Alveolar hemorrhage syndromes:
- Aspiration syndromes
- Autoimmune-related lung disease
- Bronchiolitis obliterans
