Pulmonary fibrosis, end result of a variety of inflammatory diseases of the lungs in which dense fibrous connective tissue replaces lung tissue. The fibrous tissue stiffens the lungs, reduces space available for inhaled air, and interferes with gas exchange. Causes of pulmonary fibrosis include environmental pollutants, some medicines, some connective tissue diseases, and interstitial lung disease. Signs and symptoms of pulmonary fibrosis may include shortness of breath, a dry cough, fatigue, unexplained weight loss, aching muscle and joints, and widening and rounding of the tips of the fingers or toes.
