Dr. Brewer at the u of michigan may have some drug because I believe he has some wilson's patients on it

Interstitial pneumonias are a confusing and frustrating set of diseases both for the treating physician and for the diagnostic pathologist. One source of the confusion has been the lack of overlapping terms that treating physicians and pathologists use. For example, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a clinical term describing a slowly progressive, chronic interstitial pneumonia. Since many of the interstitial pneumonias, including UIP, DIP, and NSIP, fall under this category, it is a non-specific term. Most pathologists who are experts in lung pathology use the terms IPF and UIP to mean the same disease process. To complicate matters even further, European clinicians utilize the term cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis for IPF. Pathologists also share in the confusion. Terms that were commonly used by pathologists just a few years ago have also undergone an evolution. Bronchiolitis obliterans with organizing pneunomina (BOOP) is no longer used because it has been considered a mixture of terms. Lymphocytic interstitial pneumonia (LIP) is now considered a lymphoproliferative disease. Giant cell interstitial pneumonitis (GIP) is now considered a hard metal pneumoconiosis.
