%X Acute interstitial pneumonia (AIP) is an idiopathic lung disease characterized by rapidly progressive dyspnoea, respiratory failure developing over days to weeks in patients without pre-existing lung disease. AIP show a very poor prognosis, with high mortality and remains unfamiliar to physicians. In this report, we present a case of a mid-age male with AIP who, was treated with intensive medical facilities, still showed a rapid progressive clinical deterioration, and eventually died of respiratory failure.
