Overview
Diffuse panbronchiolitis (DPB)[1] is an idiopathic (of unknown cause) inflammatory lung disease,[2] considered to be a type of COPD.[3][4] It is a severe, progressive form of bronchiolitis, mainly affecting the respiratory bronchioles (the section of the bronchioles involved in gas exchange).[2]
The term "diffuse" refers to the lesions which appear throughout both lungs, while the term "pan-" refers to the inflammation found in all layers of the respiratory bronchioles, both terms describing a common pathology for the disease.[2]
If left untreated, DPB is fatal, usually progressing to bronchiectasis, an irreversible lung conditon that causes respiratory failure.[2]
