1/2. erythema nodosum after smoke inhalation-induced bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia.bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia and erythema nodosum are immunologic diseases that have not been reported to occur together. We report the case of a lady who developed bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia and erythema nodosum simultaneously, several weeks after smoke inhalation in a house fire.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = bronchiolitis obliterans, bronchiolitis, obliterans (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/2. Long-term course of bronchiectasis and bronchiolitis obliterans as late complication of smoke inhalation.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. Sequential chest x-rays obtained during the observation period showed gradual progression of bronchiectasis from the saccular to the cystic type. Symptoms, spirometry and blood gas analysis, however, remained stable for 15 years. We believe that symptoms and physiological derangement were due mainly to bronchiolitis obliterans, and that once the pathophysiological condition had been established following the initial injury, it could be maintained by conservative medical management.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.188732827985keywords = bronchiolitis obliterans, bronchiolitis, obliterans (Clic here for more details about this article) |
