Overview
If left untreated, patients with adult bronchiolitis may progress to develop cough, wheezing, and dyspnea. Common complications of adult bronchiolitis include chronic bronchitis, pneumonia, and death. Prognosis is generally excellent if viral in origin with full recovery upon completion of treatment. However, occupational bronchiolitis tends to be irreversible and permanent.
