==General== | |||
*'''''Not''''' the same as (idiopathic) ''[[bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia]] (BOOP)'' - in short: | |||
**BOOP: clogs the airway, has Masson bodies, treated with steroids - good prognosis. | |||
**Constrictive bronchiolitis: fibrosis around airways, crappy prognosis. | |||
*No good treatment. | |||
*Progressive. | |||

#Bronchiolitis - mononuclear and neutrophilic. | |||
#*May be minimal late in the disease. | |||
#Fibrosis - submucosal and peribronchiolar. | |||
#*Can be patchy. | |||
Notes: | |||
*Bronchioles = noncartilagenous airways usu. < 2 mm in diameter.<ref name=pmid16493150/> | |||
