History and Symptoms

The most common symptoms of Hamman-Rich syndrome are cough, fever, and difficulties breathing. These often occur over a period of one to two weeks before medical attention is sought. Difficulties breathing can quickly progress to an inability to breathe without support (respiratory failure).

Hamman-Rich syndrome typically progresses rapidly, with hospitalization and mechanical ventilation often required only days to weeks after initial symptoms of cough, fever, and difficulties breathing develop.
