Immunology and allergy clinics of North America 2012 NovBronchiolitis is a disease of the small airways accompanied by progressive and often irreversible airflow obstruction. Bronchiolitis can have several causes such as infection, toxic exposure, collagen vascular disease, post lung and stem cell transplant, and idiopathic etiology. Symptoms of cough and sputum production are often mistaken for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or asthma, leading to a delay in diagnosis. Unfortunately, many types of bronchiolitis do not improve with therapy. Bronchiolitis following lung and stem cell transplant are the most common types seen in adults, and provide important insights into its pathogenesis. Copyright © 2012 Elsevier Inc.
