Abstract

There is a small portion of interstitial pneumonia which presents acute respiratory failure developing within several days. The course of illness is short and most patients die within weeks or months. This type of interstitial pneumonia has been variously termed Hamman-Rich syndrome, accelerated interstitial pneumonia, or the organizing stage of diffuse alveolar damage. We experienced a case of acute interstitial pneumonia in 42-year old female who showed clinical, radiological and histologic features of acute interstitial pneumonia without any identified etiologic agent.
