Idiopathic interstitial pneumonias are broad subsets of pulmonary diseases due to unidentifiable causes. Therefore, the diagnosis of idiopathic pulmonary pneumonia should lead to a careful clinical workup for the known etiological factors and possible adverse drug reaction before Idiopathic pulmonary pneumonia is diagnosed.
