Case 96: When it Runs in the Family
FPF is not uncommon with almost 1/6th of first-degree relatives of sporadic and familial PF showing ILA/ILD

Current Post

A 38-years old came with acute respiratory failure.

The chest radiograph showed diffuse disease.

The CT done 1 day later showed diffuse ground glass and focal consolidation.

The least involved areas (the apices) showed classic miliary nodules.

The video discusses this case as well as 3 other cases, including one that was described in Case 84.
