Description
Summary:The aim of this retrospective study was to compare the results of CAM versus prednisone (PRE) treatment in respiratory sufficient patients, with biopsy-proven COP. Results: The clinical presentation, laboratory, and radiological findings did not differ markedly between patients treated with CAM and PRE, with the exception of a higher frequency of sweats (55% vs. 23%; p < 0.014), and ground glass opacities (95% vs. 50%; p <0.05).
