About this trial
To develop a repository of blood samples from patients with ILD to support future studies into the development of such biomarkers. Patients with pneumonia and healthy patients will also be recruited as a control group.

Treatments tested in this trial
ILD
Other intervention100 cc of blood collected from a total of 250 ILD patients. This includes IPF (n=100), fibrotic NSIP (n=50), chronic hypersensitivity pneumonia (n=20), sarcoidosis(n=50), progressive rheumatoid lung disease (n=10) and scleroderma lung disease (n=20)), 10 patients with other fibrosing disease (fibrosing mediastinitis), and 50 patients with lymphangioleiomyomatosis
Healthy
Other intervention100 cc of blood collected from a total of 25 healthy volunteers in order to compare with the ILD participants.
Pneumonia
Other intervention100 cc of blood collected from a total of 100 participants with a diagnosis of pneumonia in order to compare with the ILD participants.

Future Disease Management
Reliable biomarkers to help guide treatment in ILD would be a major step forward in the management of this disease.
