Abstract

Idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (IIPs) are a group of parenchymal lung diseases of unknown aetiology and with similar clinical, radiological and functional features. They are classified as chronic (idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and nonspecific interstitial pneumonia), smoking-related (respiratory bronchiolitis-associated interstitial lung disease and desquamative interstitial pneumonia), acute/subacute (cryptogenic organizing pneumonia and acute interstitial pneumonia), and rare (lymphoid interstitial pneumonia and pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis).
