Case of a difficultly diagnosed long-term, not resolved cryptogenic organizing pneumonia

A description of the case of an atypical course of pneumonia is presented, which required a lot of efforts of clinicians and radiologists for diagnosis and positive outcome of the disease. It is shown that under the guise of the course of a common infectious disease, a rare pathology - cryptogenic-organizing pneumonia - can hide. Such patients are often long treated for «protracted pneumonia» and take many courses of antibacterial drugs for several months without effect. When pathogenic substantiated treatment with systemic glucocorticosteroids, there was a complete resolution of changes in the lungs and clinical recovery.
