Abstract
In the following case report the determination of serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)-a simple though non-specific test-reflects changes of disease activity and clinical improvement during treatment with cyclophosphamide and a tapered dose of prednisone from 100 to 0 mg daily in a 43-year-old woman with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. The trend observed in this case indicates that the serum LDH-activity may be directly proportional to the extent of this diffuse inflammatory pulmonary disease.Entities:
