The main unmet need lies within the population of patients with fibrotic interstitial lung disease (f-ILD) and indeterminate for usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) pattern on high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT). The differential diagnosis mainly includes idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP), ILD associated with occult collagen tissue disease and, most notably, chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis.BALF lymphocytosis is a valuable complementary tool in patients with fibrotic interstitial lung disease (f-ILD) and indeterminate-for-UIP pattern on HRCT http://bit.ly/2nCTkOh ER -
