The diagnostic and treatment of acute interstitial pneumonia

Abstract

The acute interstitial pneumonia is a disease of group of idiopathic interstitial pneumonias. This illness quite often results in development of respiratory distress syndrome and is characterized by resistance to therapy with systemic glucocorticosteroids. The article presents a case of clinical observation of female patient with acute interstitial pneumonia. The treatment applied included combination of therapy with average high doses of systemic glucocorticosteroids using protective modes of noninvasive ventilation of lungs that resulted in expressed positive effect during short period and permitted to avoid worser scenario of development of disease.
