Abstract

Background: Interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features (IPAF) is a term used to describe adult patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) who display some clinical or serological features of autoimmune diseases and who do not meet the full criteria for a specific connective tissue disease (CTD). The aim of this study was to define the demographic, clinical, radiologic, serologic and histopathologic features and assess treatment in children with IPAF.
