Fibrotic lung diseases in children

open access: yesPediatric Pulmonology, Volume 59, Issue 5, Page 1165-1174, May 2024.
Abstract In children, pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is an extremely unusual entity that can be observed in some types of interstitial lung disease (ILD). Defining whether ILD is accompanied by PF is important for targeted therapy. Algorithm for the diagnosis of PF in children is not clearly established.
