Subjects with known history of interstitial lung disease, history of non-infectious pneumonia, or high suspicion of interstitial lung disease; subjects who have previously had drug-induced or radiation non-infectious pneumonia but asymptomatic are allowed to enter group; 17. History of infection with human immunodeficiency virus (positive HIV test), or other acquired or congenital immunodeficiency diseases, or history of organ transplantation, or history of stem cell transplantation; 18.
