Capelozzis necrosis is a novel histological biomarker for the diagnosis of chronic microaspiration in fibrosing interstitial lung diseases

Conclusions: Our results demonstrate strong evidence that part of the CN intraluminal content is of animal origin, supporting CMA as a potential etiological factor of F-ILDs. CN may be a novel and reliable histological biomarker for the diagnosis of CMA in F-ILDs (FAPESP Nº22/02821-0, 21/09024-6, 21/10981-5, 19/01517-3).
