Data are presented as mean±sd, unless otherwise stated. LIP: lymphoid interstitial pneumonia; FEV1: forced expiratory volume in one second; % pred: per cent predicted; FVC: forced vital capacity; TLC: total lung capacity; Vtg: thoracic gas volume; RV: residual volume; Raw: airway resistance; DL,CO: diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide; VA: alveolar volume; PA–a,O2: alveolar–arterial oxygen tension difference. 1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa.
