Abstract
BACKGROUND Cryptogenic Organizing Pneumonia (COP) is one of the major idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (IIP) according to revised American Thoracic Society/ European Respiratory Society (ATS/ERS) classification of IIP. 1 Clinically, these patients present mainly with cough and dyspnoea on exertion.
