In this pictorial essay the theme of the differential diagnosis between the different causes of lung interstitial disease will be discussed, which can be detected on lung ultrasound as B lines. In particular, from the experience obtained during the covid-19 pandemic, the term B line may appear too simplified, and new data in the literature show that it is necessary to update the terminology and the differential diagnosis of this ultrasound sign.
