bronchiolitis obliterans

Hierarchical View

Definition:

inflammatory obstruction of the lung's bronchioles that become damaged and inflamed by chemical particles or respiratory infections, particularly after organ transplants, leading to extensive scarring that blocks the airways

Context:

Practical applications of this system can be illustrated through the ‘popcorn disease’ example. In 2003, a HHE was carried out following reports of several cases of serious respiratory problems among employees in a popcorn factory. The rare lung disease (bronchiolitis obliterans) seemed to originate from exposure to a volatile flavouring: diacetyl (butter flavouring).
