Abstract
Diagnosis of IPF is made first by excluding known causes of interstitial pneumonia (drug toxicities, environmental exposures, and collagen vascular diseases). It is based on a suggestive clinical presentation with a CT and/or histological pattern of usual interstitial pneumonia. It needs in most cases a multidisciplinary approach with pulmonologists, radiologists and pathologists.
