Overview

Other diagnostic studies for adult bronchiolitis include lung biopsy, which rules out other causes of dyspnea and can confirm bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome, and histopathology, which demonstrates abnormalities in the walls of membranous or respiratory bronchioles, tubular narrowing or total obliteration of the lumen, concentric T lymphocyte infiltration, smooth muscle hypertrophy in the small airways, bronchiolectasia with mucus plugging, and fibrosis and scarring.
