From pulmonary fibrosis to progressive pulmonary fibrosis: a lethal pathobiological jump
Moisés Selman, Annie Pardo
Abstract
The month of September is Pulmonary Fibrosis Awareness Month. In this context, we would like to highlight the concept of progressive pulmonary fibrosis, a common denominator/phenotype of many interstitial lung diseases other than idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, leading to clinical deterioration, decreased quality of life, and high mortality.
