Severe acute fibrinous and organizing pneumonia (AFOP) causing ventilatory failure: Successful treatment with mycophenolate mofetil and corticosteroids
Respiratory Medicine, 10/13/09

Bhatti S et al. – The authors describe a man with rapidly progressive lung disease who had AFOP detected via surgical lung biopsy. The patient acutely decompensated while in the hospital and required mechanical ventilation as well as a prolonged ICU stay. He responded poorly to initial treatment and progressively worsened, but he subsequently responded very well to combined therapy with mycophenolate mofetil and methylprednisolone.
