A 45-year-old man was admitted with nonresolving fever, cough, and dyspnea 2 months after a common cold. His chest radiograph demonstrated bilateral symmetrical upper-lobe opacities reminiscent of tuberculosis. Transbronchial biopsy revealed inflammatory nonspecific alveolar lesions suggestive of bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia, which responded well clinically and radiologically to oral corticosteroids. Here, the case of a previously unreported radiographic manifestation of…

Organizing pneumonia: Manifestation peculiarities, causes, and outcomes
TLDR
To evaluate prospective peculiarities of the manifestation of OP, which may improve the of characterization of the disorder, clinical symptoms, radiographic signs, and laboratory indices were examined.
The Organizing Pneumonias
TLDR
A meta-analysis of second-line treatment options for corticosteroid-refractory forms of OP and three alternative nonsteroid agents — cyclophosphamide, azathioprine, and cyclosporin — have been used in combination with Corticosteroids.

TLDR

TLDR
Cryptogenic organizing pneumonia has been reported to respond to corticosteroids with clinico-radiographic resolution in 70-80% of cases and to be able to be treated with secondary non-steroidal agents.

Cryptogenic organizing pneumonitis.
TLDR
Eight patients with histological intra-alveolar organization, but no evidence of an infective or other aetiological agent, are reported, and the term cryptogenic organizing pneumonitis is suggested to avoid confusion with post-infective organizing pneumonia.
Bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia associated with chlamydial infection.
TLDR
It is demonstrated that chlamydial infection may be associated with bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP) and there were marked clinical and radiographic improvements after initiation of corticosteroid therapy.
Idiopathic bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia with peripheral infiltrates on chest roentgenogram.
TLDR
It is speculated that a lung biopsy may be adequate to establish a working clinical diagnosis of BOOP and that idiopathic BOOP may represent the evolution of untreated CEP.
Bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia.
TLDR
In 50 of 94 patients with bronchiolitis obliterans the authors found no apparent cause or associated disease, and the bronchiola obliterans occurred with patchy organizing pneumonia, and it was confused most often with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
Bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia. Clinical features and differential diagnosis.
TLDR
The clinical features of 34 Japanese patients with bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP) are discussed, and in patients without corticosteroid therapy, the prognosis was good.
