Bronchiolitis Obliterans Organizing Pneumonia: Case Report and Review of Literature
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 69-year-old female complaining of fever, cough and dyspnea was admitted to our hospital. Chest X-ray examination showed bilateral infiltration shadows that increased in spite of antibiotics therapy. Broncho-alveolar lavage fluid analysis demonstrated an increased lymphocytes with an inverted CD4/CD8 ratio. Histopathology of lung biopsy specimens showed organizing granulation tissue in the lumens of bronchioles, alveolar ducts, and alveoli, along with mononuclear cell infiltration in the interstitium. A diagnosis of bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP) was thus made. The patient completely recovered by cortico steroid therapy, and is now without any indication of disease.
