High Bacterial Load Predicts Poor Outcomes in Patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

2014-02-28

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Repetitive alveolar damage and aberrant repair may be important in the development of the fatal condition Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF). The role played by microorganisms in this cycle is unknown. <h4>Methods</h4> We consecutively enrolled patients diagnosed with IPF according to international criteria together with healthy smokers, non-smokers and subjects with moderate Chronic Obstruc...
