Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
PLCH is an interstitial lung disease found in adult smokers. Patients usually have a significant smoking history and develop cough and progressive dyspnea on exertion.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
No medical therapy has proven beneficial for IPF. Immunosuppression with oral corticosteroids and cytotoxic agents such as azathioprine are most commonly used, although they appear to ben-efit only a minority of patients.
