Cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP)  is a form of idiopathic interstitial pneumonia, and the DynaMed Plus entry for Interstitial Lung Disease will provide details about clinical presentation and treatment.  Look in the Treatment section for details.  The Treatment Overview includes links to Corticosteroid therapy and a section for Cause-Specific Therapy (on menu on the left side of the screen) for Other Idiopathic Interstitial Pneumonias.

Acute Respiratory Failure.  In:  Conn’s Current Therapy, 2017.
