Overview

Cryptogenic Organizing Pneumonitis is a rapidly developing pneumonia-like illness characterised by lung inflammation and scarring that obstruct the small airways and air sacs of the lungs (alveoli). Its name is derived from the fact that it closely mimics pneumonia infections. (The term COP is used in Europe and BOOP in North America.)
