Abstract EN
A 64-year-old man with Crohn’s disease (CD) was admitted to our hospital due to moderate risk of pneumonia while receiving scheduled adalimumab maintenance therapy.
Symptoms remained virtually unchanged following administration of antibiotics.
A final diagnosis of organizing pneumonia (OP) was made based on findings of intra-alveolar buds of granulation tissue and fibrous thickening of the alveolar walls on pathological examination and patchy consolidations and ground glass opacities on computed tomography.
Immediate administration of prednisolone provided rapid, sustained improvement.
Although a rare complication, OP is a pulmonary manifestation that requires attention in CD patients.
