Bronchiolitis obliterans. Bronchiolitis obliterans (BO), also known as obliterative bronchiolitis, popcorn lung, and constrictive bronchiolitis, is a disease that results in obstruction of the smallest airways of the lungs (bronchioles) due to inflammation. Symptoms include a dry cough, shortness of breath, wheezing and feeling tired.

If the diagnosis is still unclear, a lung biopsy may be necessary. Bronchiolitis obliterans is an irreversible and chronic condition, with available treatments that can slow progression and reduce the severity of your symptoms.

ALTERNATE NAMES. Bronchiolitis Obliterans; Constrictive Bronchiolitis. DESCRIPTION. Obliterative Bronchiolitis (OB) is a rare, irreversible, life-threatening form of lung disease that occurs when the small airway branches of the lungs (bronchioles) are compressed and narrowed by scar tissue (fibrosis) and inflammation.
Diagnostic testing: Although a definitive diagnosis of OB requires can only made by a lung biopsy, other diagnostic tests which aid in the diagnosis include:
Symptoms of OB include coughing (usually without phlegm), shortness of breath on exertion, wheezing and fatigue, OB is not the same disorder as bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP), now known as cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP), which is a treatable disorder with a favorable prognosis.
Several tests are often needed to diagnose bronchiolitis obliterans, including spirometry, diffusing capacity of the lung tests ( DLCO ), lung volume tests, chest X-rays, high-resolution CT (HRCT), and lung biopsy .
The disease is often termed bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) in the setting of post lung transplantation and hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). Patients who develop BOS post lung transplant vary in disease latency and severity. Patients often initially have normal lung function on pulmonary function testing and have normal chest radiographs. As the disease progresses they begin to have symptoms of shortness of breath, cough, and wheezing as their lung function declines. The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation published updated guidelines in 2001 for grading the severity of BOS. The original guidelines and classification system were published in 1993 by the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation. Their scoring system is based on the changes in FEV 1 in patients from their baseline. When patients are first diagnosed with BOS they have their baseline lung function established by doing pulmonary function testing at the time of diagnosis. The BOS scoring system is as follows:
Other risk factors post transplant including tobacco use, age of donor, age of recipient, lower baseline FEV1/FVC ratio, non-caucasian race, peripheral and lower circulating IgG levels. Studies have, however, shown mixed results regarding these other risk factors. There has been an association shown between the increased use of peripheral stem cells and the risk of developing obliterative bronchiolitis. Also, research has shown an increased risk for developing the disease within the first year of transplant if the person is infected with respiratory syncytial virus or parainfluenza virus within the first 100 days post transplant.
A form of constrictive bronchiolitis is starting to present in Iraq and Afghanistan veterans. It has been attributed to veterans being exposed to trash burn pits . Veterans present with shortness of breath and other asthma-like symptoms. The only way to diagnose this condition is by doing a lung biopsy as chest X-rays and CT scans come back as normal. The government still denies that there is any correlation between burn pits and health problems but the government has started an "Airborne Hazards and Open Burn Pit Registry" to begin tracking the health of veterans who were exposed to burn pits to see if there is a connection.
Outcomes are often poor, with most people dying in months to years. Obliterative bronchiolitis is rare in the general population. It, however, affects about 75% of people by ten years following a lung transplant and up to 10% of people who have received a bone marrow transplant from someone else.
Post-infectious obliterative bronchiolitis is most common in the southern hemisphere particularly in countries such as Brazil, Argentina, Australia, Chile and New Zealand. There was a large prevalence of the disease in these areas during the 1990s and early 2000s.
Obliterative bronchiolitis results in worsening shortness of breath, wheezing, and a dry cough. The symptoms can start gradually, or severe symptoms can occur suddenly. These symptoms represent an obstructive pattern that is non-reversible with bronchodilator therapy, and need to be related to various lung insults.

Bronchiolitis obliterans results in worsening shortness of breath, wheezing, and a dry cough. The symptoms can start gradually, or severe symptoms can occur suddenly. These symptoms represent an obstructive pattern that is non-reversible with bronchodilator therapy, and need to be related to various lung insults. These insults include inhalation damage, post transplant auto-immune injury, post-infectious disease, drug reactions, and several auto-immune diseases.
The underlying mechanism involves injury and inflammation of epithelial and sub-epithelial cells. These cells then lose the ability to repair the tissue, in particular they lose the ability to regenerate the epithelial or outermost layer, leading to the excess growth of cells that cause scarring. There are multiple pathways of the disease including fibrotic, lymphocytic, and antibody-mediated that have been described. However, while each pathway has a more unique starting point and cause, …
Disease caused by exposure to industrial inhalants and burn pits can be prevented with the use of engineering controls (e.g., exhaust hoods or closed systems), personal protective equipment, monitoring of potentially affected personnel, worker education and training.
The primary prevention of bronchiolitis obliterans in people who have received either lung transplant or HSCT therapy is immunosuppression. In regards to post lung transplantation, the c…
While the disease is not reversible, treatments can slow further worsening. This may include the use of corticosteroids or immunosuppressive medication which may have an effect on the ability to receive a lung transplant if offered. If patients have difficulty breathing (hypoxemia) oxygen can be supplemented. Routine vaccinations are recommended for patients with chronic lung disease to prevent complications from secondary infections due to pneumonia and influenza.
"Bronchiolitis obliterans" was originally a term used by pathologists to describe two patterns of airway disease, the other was bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP), now known as cryptogenic organizing pneumonia. The name cryptogenic bronchiolitis obliterans is used when a cause is unknown.
