BRONCHIOLITIS [5 records]

Previously called bronchiolitis obliterans with organizing pneumonia, cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP) is a rare lung condition in which the small airways (bronchioles), the tiny air-exchange sacs (alveoli) and the walls of small bronchi become inflamed and plugged with connective tissue. ... Most people who have COP experience a persistent nonproductive cough and — depending on how much of the lung is affected — may have shortness of breath with exertion, a low-grade fever and a general unwell feeling.

OBS

The condition is "cryptogenic" because the cause is unknown, and "organizing" because it is an unresolved pneumonia. COP is only diagnosed when all other possible causes of pneumonia have been eliminated.

Bronchiolitis obliterans is a serious, irreversible lung disease that is often caused by exposure to toxins; it can also develop after a lung or bone marrow transplant. Also known as obliterative bronchiolitis and "popcorn lung," it causes symptoms similar to those of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or asthma, such as coughing and shortness of breath.

OBS

Bronchiolitis obliterans earned the nickname "popcorn lung" after an outbreak affected a group of people who worked in a popcorn production plant. The cause was traced to inhalation of diacetyl, a chemical that was used to give microwave popcorn its buttery flavor.

Bronchiolitis is a common lower respiratory tract infection in infants and young children, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most common cause of this infection. RSV is transmitted through contact with respiratory droplets either directly from an infected person or self-inoculation by contaminated secretions on surfaces. Patients with RSV bronchiolitis usually present with two to four days of upper respiratory tract symptoms such as fever, rhinorrhea, and congestion, followed by lower respiratory tract symptoms such as increasing cough, wheezing, and increased respiratory effort.

OBS

bronchiolite à RSV : L'abréviation «RSV» provient du terme anglais «respiratory syncytial virus».
