Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive and usually fatal form of idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (IIP). In recent years,

the views on etiopathogenesis and treatment of IPF have been changing, so early diagnosis is important for prognosis. We describe

two case reports of IPF patients with different stages of the disease.

Keywords: diagnosis, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, prognosis
