Zusammenfassung:Bronchiolitis obliterans is a rare and severe chronic lung disease resulting from a lower respiratory tract lesion. It may occur after a bone marrow or lung transplantation, infectious diseases, or less frequently after inhaling toxic substances or after connective tissue diseases. Pathology, pathogenesis, and molecular biology, as well as the best treatment of bronchiolitis obliterans, remain the subject of ongoing research. This review discusses our current knowledge of different areas of bronchiolitis obliterans associated with infectious lesions.
