Article Synopsis
- High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is essential for diagnosing Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF), but it can be confused with other interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) due to similar radiologic patterns.
- Researchers used mass spectrometry to analyze plasma extracellular vesicles (EVs) from different patient groups, identifying a five-protein signature that distinguishes IPF from other ILDs and healthy individuals.
- The study validated these biomarkers in independent cohorts, showing high accuracy but emphasizes the need for further large-scale studies to confirm their clinical application.

Background: Respiratory complications often accompany influenza in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Methods: Using claims data from US MarketScan® databases, we identified patients with COPD who had an influenza diagnosis during the 2012-2016 influenza seasons.
