Popis: Desquamative interstitial pneumonia (DIP) is an interstitial pneumonia whichis characterised by diffuse intra alveolar accumulation of macrophages. Restrictive type of respiratory failure occurs in this entity. Although DIP is an idiopathic disorder, smoking is a major risk factor in etiology. In addition, occupational exposure can cause this pathology. The cornerstone of treatment of DIP is removing the state of exposure such as smoking or occupational exposure. Herein, we presented a case of coexistence of occupational asthma and DIP.
