Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis-IPF- is a chronic progressive form of interstitial lung disease, unresponsive to medical treatment, and lung transplantation-LT- has been demonstrated as a viable therapeutic option.The etiology of the disease is unknown although herpesviruses have often been identified in IPF lungs and thought to be a potential cofactor for the development and/or progression of IPF. Preliminary studies report a poor prognosis of viral IPF patients. No data are available on the post-transplant follow-up in cases associated with viral infections.
