Overview

Common causes of bronchiolitis include inhalational injury, viral, and drug induced, such as, mineral dusts, diacetyl, RSV and busulfan. Less common causes include heart/lung/kidney transplant, rheumatoid arthritis and ulcerative colitis.

Causes

Life-threatening Causes

Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7]^[8]
Life-threatening causes of adult bronchiolitis include irritant gases such as chlorine and mustard gas.

Common Causes

Adult bronchiolitis may be caused by:

Inhalational injury
- Toxic fumes
- Mineral dusts
- Irritant gases
  - Chlorine, ammonia, mustard gas, welding vapors, paraquat and diacetyl
Post-infectious
- Virus
  - RSV (respiratory syncytial virus)
  - Adenovirus
  - Rhinovirus
  - Measles
  - Mumps
  - Varicella zoster
  - CMV (cytomegalovirus)
  - HIV (human immunodeficiency virus)
- Other pathogens
Drug - induced

Less Common Causes

Less common causes of bronchiolitis include:

Organ transplant (Bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS))
- Heart
- Lung
- Kidney
Associated conditions
Rare associated conditions
- ARDS (adult respiratory distress syndrome)
- Ataxia telangiectasia
- Lysinuric protein intolerance
- Malignant histiocytosis
- Paraneoplastic pemphigus
- Primary biliary cholangitis
- Ulcerative colitis
- Vasculitis
  - Wegener's granulomatosis (granulomatosis with polyangiitis)
  - Churg-strauss syndrome (eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis)
Idiopathic
- Cryptogenic bronchiolitis obliterans
