who was admitted due to bilateral pneumonia with no causing agent identified&#46; After discharge&#44; she continued to have asthma-like symptoms and type 1 respiratory insufficiency which progressively worsened&#46; Blood laboratory workup revealed no abnormalities&#46; Chest X-ray showed bilateral heterogeneous infiltrates&#46; Chest CT confirmed bilateral ground glass opacities with predominance of a mosaic pattern &#40;<a href="&#35;f0005" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs">Figure 1</a>B&#41;&#46; Pulmonary function tests identified small airways obstruction&#46; The patient underwent surgical lung biopsy which revealed lesions of constrictive bronchiolitis &#40;<a href="&#35;f0005" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs">Figure 1</a>D&#41;&#46; She was started on systemic corticosteroids &#40;prednisolone 0&#46;5&#160;mg&#47;kg&#47;day&#41; and azithromycin &#40;500&#160;mg three times a week&#41;&#59; there was gradual clinical improvement and recovery from respiratory insufficiency&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The term bronchiolitis refers to a number of clinical entities&#44; which are centered in the small airways&#44; and relates to the presence of inflammation and fibrosis predominantly in the membranous bronchioles&#46;<a href="&#35;bib9" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span></a> The cases reported refer to one of these entities&#44; constrictive bronchiolitis&#46; This is a rare condition&#44; difficult to diagnose with nonspecific symptoms and histological features that can be easily taken for other pathologies&#46; It designates inflammation and fibrosis occurring predominantly in membranous and respiratory bronchioles walls and contiguous tissues&#44; sparing distal respiratory bronchioles&#44; with resultant lumen narrowing&#46;<a href="&#35;bib10" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a> Histology is characterized by focal changes&#44; which are difficult to read&#44; making diagnosis sometimes problematical&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Clinically&#44; patients usually report dyspnea and cough and&#44; like both our patients&#44; have functional airflow limitation&#46; This reflects the effect of bronchiolar lumens concentric narrowing and eventually luminal obliteration&#46;<a href="&#35;bib8" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span></a> It is a chronic&#44; slowly progressive disease&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Chest X-ray is often normal or shows signs of hyperinflation or decreased vascular reticulum&#46; Chest CT scan may help diagnosis&#44; sometimes demonstrating the existence of a mosaic pattern&#44; with areas of air-trapping caused by constricted and partially obstructed bronchioles&#46;<a href="&#35;bib11" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4</span></a> There are also frequently parenchymal densifications and bilateral ground glass opacities&#46;<a href="&#35;bib9" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span></a></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">There are several causes attributed to this entity&#46; Even though it may be idiopathic&#44; most commonly it is secondary to sequelae from childhood infections or inhalation of toxic gases&#46; It can also occur in patients with connective tissue diseases and is a well-known complication of bone and lung transplantation&#46; More recently&#44; it has been associated with ulcerative colitis&#44; proliferation of neuroendocrine cells in the lung or with cystic fibrosis&#46;<a href="&#35;bib12" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">5</span></a></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Treatment is based on oral systemic corticosteroid therapy&#46; However&#44; it appears that most cases are steroid-resistant&#44; with development of irreversible airway obstruction&#46;<a href="&#35;bib13" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span></a> Association with other immunosuppressants is also controversial&#44; due to the absence of directed studies&#46; Recent trials have also shown that macrolide in the form of azithromycin &#40;250&#160;mg three times a week&#41; may be important in reducing the inflammatory component&#46;<a href="&#35;bib14" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">7</span></a></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Prognosis is difficult to establish since most of the available studies only enrolled patients with constrictive bronchiolitis associated to organ transplantation&#46; In such patients&#44; the overall mortality rate is 25&#37;&#46;<a href="&#35;bib14" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">7</span></a> However&#44; for 87&#37; of patients who were asymptomatic there was resolution or stabilization of the disease&#44; compared with 38&#37; of those with moderate symptoms and 40&#37; of those with severe symptoms&#46;<a href="&#35;bib9" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span></a></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The authors describe two patients with histological diagnosis of constrictive bronchiolitis in order to highlight an uncommon entity that in clinical practice is often misread&#46; Further studies targeting treatment regimens are needed in the near future&#46;</p><a name="sec0005" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"></a><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle">Conflicts of interest</span><p class="elsevierStylePara">The authors have no conflicts of interest to declare&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Corresponding author&#46;
