Dyskeratosis congenita and associated interstitial lung disease: a case report.
We describe a male patient with dyskeratosis congenita who, in addition to the classic triad, also suffers from usual interstitial pneumonia. He was treated with methyl-prednisolone but it is not clear whether this had an influence on the course of the disease.
