This case demonstrates the typical findings of AIPacute interstitial pneumonitis (AIP), considered as a rapidly progressive interstitial disease of unknown etiology.
The disease suspicion confirmed by open lung biopsy; which demonstrates the combination of diffuse alveolar damage (DAD) along with some changes of cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP).
