| | |
| Almost 75% of people have symptoms for less than two months before seeking medical attention. A flu-like illness, with a [[cough]], [[fever]], a feeling of illness ([[malaise]]), [[fatigue]], and [[weight loss]] heralds the onset in about 40% of patients. Doctors do not find any specific abnormalities on routine laboratory tests or on a physical examination, except for the frequent presence of crackling sounds (called Velcro [[crackles]], they are "drier" and higher pitched than traditional [[rales]]) on auscultation. Pulmonary function tests usually show that the amount of air the lungs can hold is below normal. Hypoxemia at rest which is exacerbated with exercise may be present.
| |
| Computed Tomography (CT) may be used to confirm the diagnosis. Bronchoscopic lung biopsy can confirm the diagnosis. In some patients, additional tissue may be required and may be obtained surgically.
