Post-COVID Interstitial lung diseases syndrome: Diagnosis & management as ILD?

In India, interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) are emerging from under the spotlight after decades of neglect. These lung diseases have been underdiagnosed, and therefore underreported, mainly because of a lack of recognition at many different levels. Interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) are a heterogeneous group of acute and chronic bilateral lung diseases of known and unknown causes and pose diagnostic and therapeutic challenges to the clinician. Clinicians and patients confronted with ILD are understandably frustrated as there is no cause or cure for most of ILDs.
