Case-fatality rate/Mortality rate
- The case-fatality rate/mortality rate of acute interstitial pneumonitis is approximately 12500 per 100000 among in-hospital patients.[3]
- The mean time from symptom onset to death was approximately 20 days - 6 months.
Age
- Acute interstitial pneumonitis occur typically previously healthy individuals in the age group of 50 to 55years.[1]
