  If confirmed, this observation would add DIP to the list of pulmonary disorders that are amenable to the beneficial antiinflammatory effects of macrolides. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  The presence of DIP-like reactions around a variety of spaces that occupy pulmonary lesions and of some diffuse pulmonary disorders further limit the diagnostic application of small-tissue biopsies: this mandates close radiographic correlation with findings [err.ersjournals.com]

It is important to recognize that desquamative interstitial pneumonia has distinctive clinical features, prognosis, and response to treatment. [histopathology-india.net]

Hazy densities in a peripheral distribution on CT may indicate active IPF associated with a good prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment and prognosis With smoking cessation and corticosteroid therapy, the prognosis is good. The overall prognosis of has been described as being significantly better than that of fibrotic NSIP 11. [radiopaedia.org]
