Abstract

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), or cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis as it is known in the United Kingdom and Europe, is perhaps one of the most complex and frustrating pulmonary disorders. The cause of this illness is unknown. Treatment often founders in a mire of discontent, dissatisfaction, and failure. In fact, the philosophic homily "If you do not know where you are going, then any road will take you there" in a curious way sums up the trials and tribulations of treating idiopathic interstitial fibrosis.
