also --sleeping beauty--pls note that--

a distinguishing point b/n extrinsic allergic alveolitis...and cryptogenic pul fibrosis--is that clubbing is seen in crypogenic pul fibrosis..but not in extrinsic allergic alveolitis.

this fact was also tested in a recent paper.
even though both show alveolar fibrosis--this feature is different,clinically...

i didnt know...may be this cd be useful for u ,too

clubbing not seen in chronic bronchitis,COPD
if present in COPD,shud look for an underlying
malignancy(bronchial carcinomas)
