Initially described by a group of Japanese clinicians and pulmonary pathologists to distinguish it from other chronic obstructive lung diseases, diffuse panbronchiolitis (DPB) is an uncommon disorder which has been reported largely from the eastern world. It is imperative to recognise this condition because of its potentially treatable nature. Recently, long-term macrolide therapy has revolutionised its management. Herein, we describe a 65-year-old male who was being managed as a case of chronic bronchitis before this diagnosis was suspected and proved.
