Abstract

A 72-year-old male was admitted to our hospital after experiencing dyspnea for 2 months. He had been diagnosed as having stage IV idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and was started on home oxygen therapy. Three months since pirfenidone therapy was begun after discharge, his forced vital capacity has improved dramatically. Chest CT also showed improvement of the ground-glass opacities. It is possible to control both mild stage and severe stage idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis due to advances with long-term pirfenidone therapy.
