It is described a desquamative interstitial pneumonia diagnosed by open biopsy of the lung, in a nine-month-old infant. The disease began at about two-months-old, with underdevelopment and evolution to progressive respiratory insufficiency that finished with the exitus at nine-months-old, before the initiation of the treatment with steroid. It is commented the bad prognostic in young infants diagnosed during the first year of life, questioning the utility of separate the desquamative interstitial pneumonia of the usual interstitial pneumonia in infants less than one-year-old.
本文描述了一例通过肺开放活检诊断为脱屑性间质性肺炎的9个月大婴儿。该疾病始于约2个月大时，发育不全并进展为进行性呼吸功能不全，最终在9个月大时死亡，此时尚未开始使用类固醇治疗。文中提到1岁以内诊断的幼儿预后不良，质疑将1岁以内婴儿的脱屑性间质性肺炎与普通间质性肺炎区分开来是否有用。
