Clinical experience with antifibrotics in fibrotic hypersensitivity pneumonitis: a 3-year real-life observational study

ERJ Open Research, 2020
Background Fibrotic hypersensitivity pneumonitis (f-HP) can exhibit a progressive course similar to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). The lack of diagnostic guidelines and randomised controlled trials in this population represent a significant unmet ...
