Objective: To evaluate the benefits of inpatient rehabilitation for a patient with post-COVID-19 pulmonary fibrosis and to provide guidance for rehabilitation professionals, as many conventional therapeutic interventions are not tolerated and are poorly defined.
Design: A case report.
Subjects/patients: A 72-year-old man with a COVID-19-related idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis exacerbation.

Background: Managing malignant pleural effusion (MPE) with pleurodesis is essential for symptom relief and minimizing the need for repeated thoracentesis. Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is one of the most common complications associated with advanced lung cancer. However, the efficacy and safety of pleurodesis for MPE secondary to lung cancer with ILD remains unclear.

Rare forms of interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) present with unique clinical features and require different treatment strategies. Respiratory bronchiolitis-associated ILD mainly affects smokers, showing ground-glass opacities on chest computed tomography (CT) scans and pigmented macrophages in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. Smoking cessation is essential for treatment, with corticosteroids used for severe cases.

Cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP), one of the idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (IIP), exhibits an acute or subacute course. It can be diagnosed after excluding secondary causes or diseases. COP accounts for approximately 5-10% of IIPs, with the average age of diagnosis ranging from 50 to 60 years.

Purpose: Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is a transmembrane receptor promoting pro-inflammatory signalling, that is associated with the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis. TLR4 is abundantly expressed on monocytes and the acceleration of TLR4 signalling induces the secretion of soluble TLR4 isoforms (sTLR4) in circulation. The aim of study was to evaluate the association of serum levels of sTLR4 with acute exacerbation (AE) and prognosis of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).
