Death resulted within a short time of acute pulmonary suffocation or heart failure. The lungs at autopsy revealed diffuse interstitial fibrotic changes of a type which the authors had never seen previously. They were unable to find any similar cases reported in the literature, with the exception of one instance of interstitial pulmonary fibrosis associated with lesions of periarteritis nodosa, by Kneeland and Smetana.2In...Bibliography1.
