Snippet: Iidiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) diagnosis and treatment during this COVID-19 pandemic have been affected. COVID-19 has not only impacted the prognosis of these patients but also the approach to these patients. Pulmonary function tests (PFT) and lung biopsies are less encouraged now. Traditional antifibrotics used in IPF should be encouraged irrespective of patient lung function and in those with non-definite usual interstitial pneumonia in high resolution computed tomography.
