Respir Med. 1997 Mar;91(3):171-3. doi: 10.1016/s0954-6111(97)90054-8.

Abstract

Bronchiolitis obliterans, with or without organizing pneumonia, represents an uncommon response of the lung to several injuries, that results in characteristic histopathologic changes in the small airways. The present case report describes a patient with HIV infection who developed bronchiolitis obliterans, and reviews the previously reported cases of this condition in HIV-infected patients.
