Article information
Se describe un caso de bronquiolitis obliterante con neumonía organizativa que cursó clínicamente con infiltrados pulmonares cambiantes, un patrón funcional respiratorio restrictivo de poca intensidad, un lavado broncoalveolar sin neutrofilia y buena respuesta a los corticoides. Se discute la necesidad de practicar biopsia pulmonar para su diagnóstico.
We report on a case of obliterative bronchiolitis with organizative pneumonia that presented clinically with changing pulmonary infiltrates, a mildly restrictive respiratory function pattern and no neutrophilia in the bronchoalveolar lavage. A good response to steroid therapy was obtained. The need for pulmonary biopsy in order to establish the diagnosis is discussed.
