Bronchiolitis 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 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...
متن کاملCavitary bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia.
The term bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP) refers to nonspecific pathological abnormalities characterized by the presence of granulation tissue within the lumen of the distal pulmonary airspaces, associating "proliferative" bronchiolitis obliterans and organizing pneumonia which is indeed the major component of the pathological process [1]. Some confusion has resulted from th...
متن کاملInterferon-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 کاملDifferential diagnosis of bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia.
The disease concept of idiopathic BOOP has emerged from a study of many open lung biopsy cases of diffuse infiltrative lung disease. The histopathologic features of idiopathic BOOP have several components: bronchiolitis obliterans, organizing pneumonia, accumulation of foamy cells in the peripheral air spaces, and interstitial infiltration of mononuclear cells. These pathologic findings are non...
