Figure 1. Chest X-ray at presentation showing bilateral infiltrates.

Figure 2. (A) Expansion of the interstitium because of inflammatory infiltrates that separate the tubules. The glomeruli appear unremarkable (hematoxylin and eosin [H + E] stain). (B) Large numbers of small lymphocytes expand the renal interstitium (H + E). (C) Leukocyte infiltration of the tubular epithelium (tubulitis) and variable amounts of tubular injury (tubular necrosis, desquamation, degeneration). (D) In addition to the interstitial lymphocytes, plasma cell and sparse eosinophils are observed (H + E).
