[Liebow desquamative interstitial pneumopathy. Review of the literature; discussion of a new case].
After a new observation, the authors make as complete a review as possible of the literature on this disease right up to the end of June 1974. They counted 104 observations and analyzed 91 of them. They think the clinical description could be enlarged to include the extra-thoracic signs. Similarly they point at biological peculiarities which unfortunately have only been looked for in a small number of the observations. Out of 77 cases they draw the main evolutive lines of the disease treated or untreated, debating on the reaction to corticosteroids. Finally they debate on the pathogenic hypotheses mainly on histological grounds.
