La afectación pulmonar en la enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal (EII) es infrecuente. Entre los diferentes procesos pulmonares relacionados con la EII destaban, bronquitis crónica y bronquiectasias, habiéndose observado también algunos casos de bronquiolitis, bronquiolitis obliterante con neumonía organizativa y otras enfermedades intersticiales. Dada la infrecuencia de dicha neumopatía, publicamos un episodio de bronquiolitis observado en una paciente diagnosticada previamente de colitis ulcerosa. Se discuten los resultados radiológicos y de función pulmonar de dicha enferma y se enfatiza la utilidad del tratamiento corticoide, dada la buena respuesta clínica que habitualmente se observa en las neumopatías asociadas a EII.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) only occasionally affects the lung. Noteworthy among the various pulmonary entities related to IBD are chronic bronchitis and bronchiectasis, though reports of bronchiolitis, obliterants bronchiolitis with organizing pneumonia and other interstitial diseases have also been published. Given the rarity of such pneumopathy, we report a case of bronchiolitis in a patient with a prior diagnosis of ulcerative colitis. We discuss the radiological findings and the results of lung function testing, emphasizin the utility of eorticosteroid treatment, which usually leads to a good outcome in pneumopathy secondary to IBD.

Key words:
Ulcerative colitis
Bronchiolitis
