Abstract

Recently, there has been the rise in interest in the problem of rare and interstitial lung diseases. This is due, among other things, to the wide spread of non-invasive diagnostic tools and the expansion of therapeutic possibilities thanks to modern pharmacotherapy. The objective of this study is to analyze a clinical case (diagnosis and management) of the cryptogenic organized pneumonia. An example of the diagnostic challenges in cryptogenic organizing pneumonia is given. A female patient was admitted to the Department of Pulmonology with the diagnosis of bilateral polysegmental pneumonia, prolonged course (was receiving antibiotic therapy for 1.5 month, however the condition hasn't improved despite the received treatment). After further examination, the diagnosis of cryptogenic organizing pneumonia was made and the therapy was administered. Conclusion. The described case demonstrates diagnostic challenges in cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (the need for interdisciplinary approach) and a good response to therapy with glucocorticosteroids.
