Overview

The world wide incidence of acute interstitial pneumonitis is approximately 97 cases per 100,000 individuals. The prevalence of acute interstitial pneumonitis is approximately 12 per 100,000 individuals worldwide. Acute interstitial pneumonitis affects men and women equally. Acute interstitial pneumonitis occur typically previously healthy individuals in the age group of 50 to 55years.

The world wide incidence of acute interstitial pneumonitis is approximately 97 cases per 100,000 individuals.^[1]^[2]

The prevalence of acute interstitial pneumonitis is approximately 12 per 100,000 individuals worldwide.

The case-fatality rate/mortality rate of acute interstitial pneumonitis is approximately 12 per 100000 among in-hospital patients.^[3]
The mean time from symptom onset to death was approximately 20 days - 6 months.

Acute interstitial pneumonitis occur typically previously healthy individuals in the age group of 50 to 55years.^[1]

There is insufficient evidence to support the regional distribution of acute interstitial pneumonitis.
