Abstract
A previously well, 48-year-old female presented with a short history of res piratory distress and fever for which no cause could be found. Open lung bi opsy was not contributory. She died within nine days of presentation of hyp oxia and multi-organ failure. Post mortem examination revealed the pattern of desquamative interstitial pneumonitis.
