Abstract
Interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) is a wide group of diffuse parenchymal lung diseases that can lead to interstitial pulmonary fibrosis. Clinical course of all ILDs, in particular with chronic fibrosing phenotype, can be complicated by an acute exacerbation caused by infection. Today, data about clinical course of COVID-19 in patients with progressive interstitial lung diseases is limited. In this case we described the course of COVID-19 infection in a patient with an interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features (IPAF) and a progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF). We also discussed the typical features of COVID-19 in this population and the directions for further research.
