Table 1. Classification of bronchiolar disorders Adapted from [1].
- Acute bronchiolitis |
- Constrictive bronchiolitis |
- Respiratory bronchiolitis |
- Diffuse panbronchiolitis |
- Follicular bronchiolitis |
- Mineral dust airway disease |
- Interstitial lung diseases with bronchiolar involvement (RB-ILD/DIP, HP, COP, pulmonary Langerhans' cell histiocytosis, sarcoidosis, bronchiolocentric interstitial pneumonia) |
- Large airway diseases with bronchiolar involvement (chronic bronchitis, bronchiectasis, asthma) |
- Other bronchiolar disorders (e.g., diffuse aspiration bronchiolitis, lymphocytic bronchiolitis) |
RB-ILD/DIP, respiratory bronchiolitis–associated interstitial lung disease/desquamative interstitial pneumonia; HP, hypersensitivity pneumonitis; COP, cryptogenic organizing pneumonia
