Clinical Course of Usual Interstitial Pneumonia [PDF]
Background : Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a fatal progressive fibrous disease of the lung of unknown etiology. Recently it has been classified into several distinct entities on the basis of pathologic and clinical characteristics, ie : usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP), desquamative interstitial pneumonia (DIP), acute interstitial pneumonia (

Evaluation of the histological parameters in usual interstitial pneumonia (idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis) [PDF]
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis) is a progressive interstitial pulmonary disease of unknown etiology. Since Hamman's and Rich's (1944) reports, many studies have tried to find a histological marker for the correlation ...
