Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Acute-onset interstitial lung diseases (ILD) comprise a group of heterogeneous disorders. It is important to identify the underlying lung disease, as it may influence clinical outcomes. We aimed to determine whether there are differences in exhaled nitric oxide (eNO) between different subtypes of acute-onset ILD. eNO could be a marker for differentiating EP from other types of acute-onset ILD regardless of blood eosinophil levels.
