...Rudolf Speich; Annette Boehler; Erich W. Russi; Walter Weder Lung transplant bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) is the most significant long-term cause of morbidity and mortality after lung transplantation. Although augmented immunosuppression is used by most centers, reported on treatment...

...Sadatomo Tasaka; Minoru Kanazawa; Masaaki Mori; Seitaro Fujishima; Akitoshi Ishizaka; Fumihiro Yamasawa; Takeo Kawashiro We describe the long-term course of a patient with bronchiectasis and bronchiolitis obliterans, both of which developed as late complications of a smoke inhalation injury...

... transplantation develop bronchiolitis obliterans (BrOb). We have hypothesized that total body irradiation (TBI) which has been used for pretreatment may influence the subsequent development of BrOb in patients undergoing allogeneic BMT. Since 1976, we have treated 104 patients undergoing allogeneic BMT with non...

..., irreversible obstructive syndrome. This history, together with radiographs showing hyperinflation and sequential physiologic studies indicative of obstruction without bronchospasm and without loss of parenchyma suggest bronchiolitis obliterans as the causative lesion. The literature concerning this syndrome...

Saldiva; Thais Mauad Background: Childhood bronchiolitis obliterans (CBO) is an infrequent but severe disease, characterized by persistent obstructive respiratory symptoms after an acute episode of bronchiolitis. Its...

However...

...Oner Dikensoy; Nazan Bayram; Ayfer Bingol; Ayten Filiz We present a case of bronchiolitis obliterans associated with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis in whom pneumomediastinum was the presenting manifestation. Diagnosis of bronchiolitis obliterans was made on the basis of the clinical history...
