Figure 1. Timeline with results of laboratory and imaging tests. Serum IgG4 concentrations were measured with nephelometry. HDQ – hydroxychloroquine; CRP – C-reactive protein; ESR – erythrocyte sedimentation rate; CT – computed tomography; PET-CT – positron emission tomography-computed tomography; FVC – forced vital capacity; FEV1 – forced expiratory volume in 1 second; DLCO – diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide; TLC – total lung capacity.
