Idiopathic obstructive bronchiolitis with organizing pneumonia

　　Idiopathic obstructive bronchiolitis with organizing pneumonia is a special clinical pathological syndrome with unknown etiology, which can develop into focal organizing pneumonia, with fibrotic granulomatous tissue blocking bronchiolae and alveolar ducts.

　　Idiopathic obstructive bronchiolitis with organizing pneumoniaIt can develop into focal organizing pneumonia, with fibrotic granulomatous tissue blocking bronchiolae and alveolar ducts..

　　Almost 3/4 of the patients with idiopathic obstructive bronchiolitis with organizing pneumonia have symptoms lasting less than 2 months, and very few symptoms last more than 6 months before diagnosis. In 2/5 of the patients, there are influenza-like diseases, manifested as cough, fever, discomfort, fatigue, and weight loss, which often indicate the onset of the disease. Chest examination often hears inspiratory stridor.

　　Since idiopathic obstructive bronchiolitis with organizing pneumonia is a special clinical pathological syndrome with unknown etiology, improving the living environment, changing bad living habits, and enhancing the body's immune function are the key to the prevention and treatment of the disease.

　　1. Go to bed early and get up early, exercise the body. Insufficient sleep can reduce the body's immune function and is prone to excitement and inflammation, leading to external and internal injuries.

　　2. Maintain a peaceful mind. In spring, it is taboo to be angry, and do not be too impulsive in dealing with things. It is necessary to maintain a peaceful mind at all times.

　　3. Quit smoking, reduce alcohol and coffee intake. Smoking is most likely to damage the surface barrier of the respiratory tract, and is prone to trigger disease attacks. Alcohol, tobacco, and coffee can stimulate neural excitement, and some people want to use them to 'relieve tension and fatigue', but in fact, they weaken the body's resistance to disease.

　　What examinations should be done for idiopathic obstructive bronchiolitis with organizing pneumonia? Briefly described as follows:

　　1. Routine examination

　　Routine examination shows leukocytosis in about half of the patients with increased eosinophils, and the erythrocyte sedimentation rate is often elevated at the beginning. Although obstructive disorders can be found in 21% of the cases [percentage of forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) to forced vital capacity (FVC)],

　　2. Chest X-ray

　　Chest X-ray shows bilateral, diffuse, alveolar density increase shadows with normal lung volume. The shadows are distributed peripherally and can also show characteristic manifestations similar to those of chronic eosinophilic pneumonia. In rare cases, alveolar density increase shadows may be unilateral. Recurrent migratory pulmonary shadows are common, and linear or nodular interstitial shadows are rare.

　　3. Lung CT

　　The chest CT scan shows patchy air space consolidation, ground-glass opacity, small nodule shadow, and thickening and expansion of the bronchial wall. Patchy shadows are more common in the periphery of the lung and often located at the base of the lung. CT scan can show a wider range of lesions than chest X-ray.

　　4. Vital capacity of the lungExamination

　　Lung biopsy shows abundant granulation tissue proliferation in small airways and alveolar ducts, accompanied by chronic inflammation around the alveoli.
