ABSTRACT

Post-infectious bronchiolitis obliterans is a severe form of chronic obstructive lung disease in children that follows an insult to the lower respiratory tract infection. It′s associated with viruses,bacteria and mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. Persist wheezing,recurrent exacerbation and exercise intolerance are the main manifestations. Mosaic attenuation and air trapping can be seen in HRCT. Lung function test shows obstructive dysfunction. Its prognosis is bad. Early identification and management of severe post-infectious bronchiolitis obliterans can improve prognosis greatly.
