Interstitial lung diseases (ILDs), also known as diffuse parenchymal lung diseases, are common lethal diseases, characterized by basilar patchy scarring and honeycombing that lead to chronic and progressive respiratory failure due to fibrosis in the lung. Here we describe a case of a 35-year-old...
The disease course of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is progressive and occasionally, other types of interstitial lung disease (ILD) may progress similarly to IPF. This study aimed to evaluate risk factors for disease progression within 24 months in
