  • Title: [Idiopathic interstitial pneumonia: classification and diagnostic work-up].
    Author: Rochat T, Pache JC.
    Journal: Rev Med Suisse; 2010 Nov 24; 6(272):2222-7. PubMed ID: 21207733.
    Abstract:
    Idiopathic interstitial pneumonias represent a group of complex lung diseases among which the most frequent types are idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), idiopathic non-specific interstitial pneumonia (idiopathic NSIP), and cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP). Clinicians may rely on a precise classification of these diseases from an America-European consensus that has been published in 2002. However it appears that diagnosis should always be confirmed by a multidisciplinary team discussion with experience in the field. There are generally tremendous prognostic and therapeutic implications for the patient.
