We tested the hypothesis that maximal exercise performance in subjects with interstitial lung disease (ILD) is limited by respiratory factors. Assuming this is so, ventilatory stimulation by added dead space (VD) should impair exercise capacity. ⋯ The decrease observed in TLIM, work rate, and peak VO2 with added VD, associated with a lack of change in VI or oxygen desaturation at end-exercise, suggests that exercise limitation in ILD is primarily due to respiratory factors.

A 51 year-old male was admitted to our hospital with chief complaints of fever, dry cough and dyspnea. Chest X-ray films and his history of taking Chinese medicine for liver dysfunction were suggestive of drug-induced pneumonitis. ⋯ In vivo challenge test for Sho-saiko-to was positive. The LST with BALF-lymphocytes proved to be very useful in making a diagnosis of drug-induced pneumonitis.
