Abstract

A 65 years old farmer was admitted in Medicine ward with the complaints of progressive exertional breathlessness, non-productive cough and recurrent episodes of fever. The patient had clubbing and chest examination revealed end inspiratory crackles. Chest x-ray, CT scan of chest and spirometry revealed the features of interstitial lung disease (ILD). So we diagnosed the case as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis variety of ILD. We reported this rare case for developing awareness among the clinicians.
