    Document: Although interstitial lung disease has been considered idiopathic, factors such as medications, radiation, infections, and environmental and occupational agents have been implicated in its development.

The lung biopsy specimens and radiological findings in these case series showed a similar pattern across affected family members, suggesting that a common environmental insult or viral infection might have been a causal or triggering factor for the development of interstitial pneumonia with lung fibrosis in these patients.
