Historical Perspective

Discovery

• The university of Minnesota in 1899 was first to describe bronchiolitis
• One year later in 1900, Dr. Lange, an American physician, establishes a distinct pathological entity known as bronchiolitis.
• In 1985, bronchiolitis obliterans-organizing pneumonia (BOOP) is distinguished as a condition separate from typical bronchiolitis.
• The association between inhalated irritants and bronchiolitis was made in 1904.
• In 1982, 1984 and 1989, obliterative bronchiolitis (bronchiolitis su b was identified as a complication of bone marrow, heart and lung transplant respectively.
• In 1983, Japanese researchers described diffuse panbronchiolitis, as subtype of bronchiolitis.

Impact on Cultural History

The recent trend of vaping, in particular flavored vapors, has lead to an increased incidence of popcorn lung, also known as obliterative bronchiolitis (bronchiolitis obliterans).
