- Abstract
Acute exacerbations of interstitial pneumonias (IP) can occasionally occur, and have an extremely poor prognosis. Recently, direct haemoperfusion with a polymyxin B immobilized fibre column (PMX-DHP) was shown to have a beneficial effect in acute exacerbations of IPF. However, little is known about the efficacy of PMX-DHP in acute exacerbations of other IP. This study investigated the effectiveness and safety of PMX-DHP in acute exacerbations of IP.
