Interferon-related bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia.
We present an unusual case of a patient with chronic hepatitis C who experienced dyspnea, fever, and cough after 2 1/2 months' treatment with interferon. His radiograph demonstrated diffuse pulmonary infiltrates and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid showed an increase in lymphocytes, especially CD8-positive cells. The lung biopsy findings were bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP). Th...
متن کاملBronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia.
Bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP) is increasingly recognized as an important cause of diffuse infiltrative lung disease. It is a diagnostic consideration in patients with a febrile flu-like illness of a few weeks' duration and a roentgenogram showing bilateral patchy infiltrates that are not responsive to a typical course of antibiotics. It is defined as granulated tissue plu...
متن کاملBronchiolitis fibrosa obliterans.
Bronchiolitis fibrosa obliterans, described first by Lange in 1901, is an obliterative process of the bronchioles in which there is extensive damage to the bronchial wall involving all the constituent elements (the epithelium, elastic tissue, and muscle fibres), and the lumen is partially or totally occluded by bronchial exudate organized by fibroblasts and capillaries. The disease is extremely...
متن کاملLTB4 and montelukast in transplantation-related bronchiolitis obliterans in rats
BACKGROUND Lung transplantation is the only effective treatment for end-stage lung diseases. Bronchiolitis obliterans, which is known as non-infectious chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) in the new classification, is the greatest threat to long-term survival after lung transplantation. This study investigated the role of leukotriene B4 (LTB4) and montelukast in transplantation-related br...
متن کاملBronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia.
Bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP) is a diffuse infiltrative pulmonary disorder that has an insidious onset. The patient often presents with flu-like symptoms and radiological findings showing bilateral patchy infiltrates. Histological features show fibromyxoid connective tissue plugs that are evenly spaced in small distal airways and alveolar spaces. Treatment for BOOP is cor...
