Association between the HAL score and the development of progressive pulmonary fibrosis in idiopathic interstitial pneumonia: A prospective observational study.

Background: Progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF) is a critical concern in interstitial lung disease (ILD) management. The HAL score, which incorporates honeycombing (H), age >75 years (A), and serum lactate dehydrogenase >222 U/L (L), can predict acute exacerbations in patients with idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (IIP). This study aims to evaluate the predictive utility of the HAL score for PPF development.

A Case of Severe Fever with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome and Acute Gastric Mucosal Lesions Confirmed Using Esophagogastroduodenoscopy.

Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is known to cause gastrointestinal hemorrhaging; however, few reports have so far specified the site of the hemorrhaging or lesion characteristics. A 79-year-old man was admitted to the hospital with fever, anorexia, and diarrhea which was suspected to be due to gastroenteritis. On day 2, the patient developed hematemesis.

Radiological and histopathological features and treatment response by subtypes of interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features: A prospective, multicentre cohort study.

Background: Patients with idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (IIP) have a favourable prognosis when they have interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features (IPAF). However, precise IPAF-related findings from high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) and lung histopathological specimens and the treatment response have not been fully determined. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between findings on HRCT or lung histopathological specimens and the progression of interstitial pneumonia in patients with IPAF.
