Computed tomography scans of the chest from two relatives with interstitial lung abnormalities (ILA) and progression at the 2-year follow-up. The first participant with ILA at baseline and 2-year follow-up had radiologic progression, including worsening reticulations throughout the lungs (white arrows) and increased basilar traction bronchiolectasis (black arrow). At the 2-year follow-up, FVC had decreased by 7% and DlCO by 17%. The second participant was indeterminate for ILA at baseline but had ILA at the 2-year follow-up and radiologic progression, including new and increased areas of upper lobe and basilar reticulation (white arrows) as well as new basilar traction bronchiolectasis (black arrow). At the 2-year follow-up, FVC had decreased by 15% and DlCO by 16%.
