Terms
• Bronchiolitis
Bronchiolitis obliterans (BO)
Obliterative bronchiolitis (OB)
Constrictive bronchiolitis(CB)
• Bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS)
• Pneumonia
• Organizing pneumonia
• Idiopathic interstitial pneumonia ( diffuse alveolar damage)
Bronchiolitis
• Is an inflammatory reaction that follows damage to the
bronchiolar epithelium of the small conducting airways
Subsequent healing leads to excessive proliferation of granulation
tissue within the airway walls , lumen or both.
Depending on disease stage the repair process may cause
narrowing and distortion of the small airway (constrictive
bronchiolitis ) or complete obliteration ( bronchiolitis obliterans)
BRONCHIOLITIS OBLITERANS
• Rare form of non-reversible Obstructive lung disease
• Scarring
• Polyploidy obliteration of the lumen of the bronchioles without involving of
the distal lung parenchyma.
• Infants - adenovirus
BRONCHIOLITIS OBLITERANS
• Rare form of non-reversible Obstructive lung disease

• Polyploidy obliteration of the lumen of the bronchioles without
involving of the distal lung parenchyma.
• Infants - adenovirus
BRONCHIOLITIS OBLITERANS
SYMPTOMS & SIGNS
• Dry cough
• SOB
• WHEEZES
• FEV1 16-21%
• Desaturation
BRONCHIOLITIS OBLITERANS
CAUSES
• Viruses
• Collagen vascular diseases
• Transplant rejection
• Stevens-Jonson's syndrome
• Pneumocystis Juversi pneumonia
• Drug reaction
• Aspiration
• Bronchopulmonary dysplasia-prematurity
• Toxic fumes
BOS
a distinct clinical entity
occurring in the transplanted lung
involves the small airways primarily
should not be confused with BO or BOOP
PNEUMONIA - PNEUMONITIS
• Inflammatory condition of the lung affecting primarily the microscopic
airspaces known as alveoli .
• Congestion , hepatization , resolution
• …. Viruses , bacteria ,fungi , parasites
• > 100 strains identified
• Mixed infection 45% children : 15% adults
• Isolation of causative agent 50% despite careful testing
Pneumonitis
• Certain drugs
• Chemical burns
• Autoimmune diseases
• Radiation
• Thermal injuries
HISTORY
• HIPPOCRATES 460-370 BC
• 12 November world pneumonia day
• 450 million /year
• 4 million deaths /year
• 7% world’s total deaths
• Greatest < 5 >75 yrs
• 8th
leading death in the states 2009
PNEUMONIA IMAGING
• CXR does not always match the severity of pneumonia
• Not reliably separate between bacterial infection and
viral infection
• CXR typically clear within one month
Pneumonic patch
Interstitial lung disease
• Is a class of diffuse lung diseases .
• It is a common pathological response of the lung to a wide variety
of known & unknown cause .
• It is often referred to interstitial pneumonia , IP or interstitial lung
disease ILD
• Until 1960 IPF remained largely a clinical diagnosis considered as
a single entity
• Has been felt to be a terminal disease with poor prognosis
because of lack of response to immunosuppressive therapy only
30% respond
• only 30% histopathology done
ILD
Several acute and chronic lung disorders with variable degrees of
pulmonary fibrosis ,variable degree of disease progression &
variable response to treatment.
Retrospective review of clinical & histopathology data allows
IPF to be classified into distinct subsets that differ in clinical
course , prognosis & response to treatment .
ILD
• NSIP , LIP , DIP ,RBI lung disease , UIP , OP
• In some ILDs , the small airways- the respiratory and terminal
bronchioles- are primarily affected .
respiratory bronchiolitis-associated interstitial lung disease
(RBILD)
idiopathic , smoking related in contrast to BO .
Known factors or insults lead to
Interstitial lung disease
• Drugs : antineoplastic (bleomycin , methotrexate )
: antimicrobial (nitrofrantoin , penicillin )
:amidorone
: hydroclorothiazide
• Hypersensitivity pneumonia
Farmer’s lung , pigeon breeder’s lung
. Dusts:
Asbestos , silica
Viral agents … mycoplasma pneumonia
. CD
ILD
.
It is important to differentiate terms used to define clinical entities
and terms describing the pathologic lesions of these disorders .
Clinical syndromes IPF,CFA ,idiopathic BOOP,COP,BO,BOS
,Hamman-Rich syndrome .
Pathological:UIP , LIP , giant cell interstitial pneumonitis ,
diffuse alveolar damage, non classifiable interstitial pneumonia ,
BOOP .
DD
ILD
• Clinical setting:-
• First: requires consideration of a variety of other pathological processes that
mimic the interstitial disorders in appropriate clinical setting
• Second: Physician should be aware of at least 150 other clinical entities &
situations associated with ILD
• Third: Owing the broad DD & the availability of various evolving invasive &
non-invasive diagnostic techniques, the best approach to use is to establish a
specific diagnosis which is frequently difficult to determine
• Fourth: In a significant proportion of patients a conclusive cause can't be
ascertained even when the most invasive diagnostic pathways are taken.
• Finally , even when a specific diagnosis is made, an effective therapeutic
regimen is not available for many patients with ILD
????????
BOOP
Bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia
Is a type of diffuse INTERSTITIAL LUNG DISEASE that
affects the distal bronchioles , respiratory bronchioles , alveolar
ducts and alveolar wall.
Type of lung injury and repair
Failure of resolution of acute pneumonia
The primary area of injury is within the alveolar wall.
BOOP Hx
• As a distinct clinical entity 1st described by Davison in 1983
• Gary Epler 1985 gave the name BOOP
• Inflammation of the bronchioles & surrounding tissue in the
lung.
• Non infectious- infectious
• Complication of an existing chronic inflammatory disease such as
RA
• Side effect of certain medication such as amidarone
• MF 1:1
• Age 50-60  20-80
• No relation to smoking
Organizing pneumonia
• Refers to unresolved pneumonia in which alveolar exudates
persists & eventually undergo fibrosis .
. presence of buds of granulation tissue progressing from fibrin
exudates to loose collagen containing fibroblast.
Accessory finding in other inflammatory diseases such as
vasculitis
. It may also be a feature of organizing stage of ARDS
• A complication of an existing chronic inflammatory disease
or a side effect of certain medication .
• organizing Pneumonia of determined causes
• organizing Pneumonia of unknown cause occurring in a
specific context causes
• Cryptogenic organizing pneumonia
Undetermined causes of organizing
Pneumonia
• RA , Sjorgen syndrome---------- SLE ,SS
• Sweet”s disease
• HCV thyroiditis
• Crhons disease…..UC
• Behcets”s …. Wegener”s granulomatosis ….PN
• Polymyalgia Rheumatica
• Myelodysplasia
• Leukemia ….. Cancer
• Mesangiocapillary GN
• Chronic rejection …. Graft versus host disease
Determined causes of organizing Pneumonia
• Infection
• Drugs
• Radiation
• It was long been known that radiation may induce radiation
pneumonitis
• However a syndrome similar to COP has been identified recently
• It differs strikingly from usual radiation pneumonitis in that the
pulmonary infiltrate occur or migrate outside the radiation fields
add respond good to steroids.
• Interestingly, unilateral breast irradiation, whether or not it results
in pneumonitis , has been shown to induce bilateral lymphocytic
alveolitis with activated CD4+Tcells
Infectious causes of organising
pneumonia

• Rate of disease progression
• Extra pulmonary symptoms
Clinical approach …cont.

• Diffuse neoplasia

BOOP diagnosis
• Diagnosis is suspected after no response to multiple antibiotics & blood &
sputum cultures are –ve for organisms
. Clinical picture & radiological images resemble infectious pneumonia
• CXR similar to an extensive pneumonia wide spread white patches
small nodular opacities 50% & large nodules in 15%
• Preservation of normal lung volume
• Migrate
• Persists or progresses
BOOP – CT
• CT may be used to confirm the diagnosis ( findings are typical enough to allow
the doctor to make the diagnosis without ordering additional tests)
• …airspace consolidation with airbronchogram , lower zone predominance ,
sub pleural or peribronchial distribution 50%.
• Ground glass appearance in most pt , honeycombing in some
• Diffuse bilateral infiltratation
• as a solitary focal lesion associated usually with subacute or chronic
inflammatory illness, it occurs in the upper lobes and may cavitate.
• .
BOOP - histopathology
• Confirmation
• Broncoscopic biopsy !
• VATS
• Histology: presence of polyploidy plugs of loose organizing connective tissue
( Masson bodies ) within the alveolar ducts , alveoli , bronchioles .
• Intraluminal polyps in respiratory bronchioles , alveolar ducts , alveolar spaces .
• Accompanied by organizing pneumonia in the more distant parenchyma
( proliferative bronchitis)
Diagnosis of exclusion
• COP is a diagnosis of exclusion .
• Once confirmation done , physician has to rule out :-
Chronic esinophilic pneumonia
Hypersensitivity pneumonia
Bacterial …. Viral
CD
Drug reaction
TREATMENT
• Spontaneous
• Macroloids
• Steroids
• Cytotoxic drugs
• Transforming growth factor , pirfenidone
