CTICasesRapidly progressive pulmonary fibrosis from acute DAD
Imaging findings
Serial CT scans over three months demonstrate the development of an acute DAD/organizing pneumonia pattern that rapidly progressed and scarred down into a possible UIP pattern of pulmonary fibrosis.
Key takeaways
A UIP-like pattern of pulmonary fibrosis can occasionally develop rapidly over a period of weeks to months following a single, severe episode of diffuse alveolar damage (DAD).
