Lymphocytic interstitial non-HIV-related pneumonia in pediatrics: a case report.

Lymphocytic interstitial pneumonia (LIP) in pediatric patients without human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection remains a poorly characterized and enigmatic disease. Immunological dysregulation, mutations in the COPA gene, and increased morbidity and mortality have been reported in these patients. We present a case of LIP in a pediatric patient without HIV infection.
