Bronchiolitis obliterans-organizing pneumonia (BOOP /cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP), interstitial pneumonitis, and non-cardiogenic pulmonary oedema may also be seen.
A case of bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia associated with ticlopidine has been reported.
These lesions were correlated with small inflammatory processes, both non-specific or in relation to organizing pneumonia.
Furthermore, the lung histopathology showed acute and organizing pneumonia, fungal hyphae and oxalate crystallosis, confirming the diagnosis of invasive A. niger infection.
For instance, patients with auto-immune or drug-induced disorders, organizing pneumonia, or diffuse alveolar hemorrhage could benefit from anti-inflammatory treatments (e.g., corticosteroids) [7, 12, 13].
They include diffuse alveolar damage, organizing pneumonia, nonspecific interstitial pneumonia, lymphocytic interstitial pneumonia, desquamative interstitial pneumonia, respiratory bronchiolitis interstitial lung disease, and usual interstitial pneumonia.
BOOP, bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia.
BOOP bronchiolitis obliterans with organizing pneumonia.
The likely cause of death was bilateral organizing pneumonia.
Pt.: patient; BOOP: Bronchiolitis obliterans with organizing pneumonia; DAH: Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage; PCP: Pneumocystis pneumonia.
Distinctive airspaces or small airway lesions resembling bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia were also detected.
