  1. NA = not analysed, VC = vital capacity (% of reference value), FEV1 = forced expiratory volume in one second, DLco = diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide. *Chest X-ray stages: I) Bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy (BHL) without pulmonary infiltrates, II) BHL with pulmonary infiltrates, III) pulmonary infiltrates without BHL, IV) fibrosis with distortions.
