متن کاملObliterative bronchiolitis: varying presentations and clinicopathological correlation.
In obliterative bronchiolitis, inflammation and fibrosis lead to narrowing or occlusion of bronchiolar lumina. To determine how bronchiolar structural alterations relate to lung physiology, 19 patients with a pathological diagnosis of obliterative bronchiolitis were studied. The bronchiolar inflammatory and fibrotic features were correlated to the clinical presentation, and lung function tests....

متن کاملHypereosinophilic obliterative bronchiolitis: a distinct, unrecognised syndrome.
Biopsy-proven cases of eosinophilic bronchiolitis have only been reported in isolation, and all come from Japan. We present six patients with hypereosinophilic obliterative bronchiolitis (HOB), defined by the following criteria: 1) blood eosinophil cell count >1 G·L(-1) and/or bronchoalveolar lavage eosinophil count >25%; 2) persistent airflow obstruction despite high-dose inhaled bronchodilato...
