Bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia, now termed as cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP), is a fibrotic lung disease of the small airways with the potential to progress to end-stage lung disease. COP in pregnancy carries a high risk of maternal and neonatal complications and only two prior cases have been reported. This is the first case of pre-existing COP in pregnancy. We report a 16-year-old primigravid with COP who elected inpatient management and preterm delivery as a successful management option.

Progressive Dyspnea

The term ‘bronchiolitis obliterans’ was historically used by pathologists to refer to two distinct patterns of small-airway disease. The first was characterized by intraluminal polyps in the small airways. It was subsequently named bronchiolitis obliterans with organizing pneumonia and, more recently, cryptogenic organizing pneumonia. The second pattern was characterized by sub-epithelial inflammatory and fibrotic narrowing of the bronchioles, which is now recognized as obliterative bronchiolitis or constrictive bronchiolitis. In this study we reported a case of a male patient of 55 years who got admitted to a teaching hospital with progressive dyspnea and nonproductive cough over a period of 12 months and was released after proper treatment and management.Mediscope Vol. 4, No. 2: Jul 2017, Page 39-43

Lung Histology

A 29 year-old-man with Crohn's disease, who developed diffuse pulmonary infiltrates and hypoxemia two months following oral administration of mesalazine, was examined. Clinical findings and computed tomography were suggestive of, and lung histology was diagnostic of, bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia, also known as cryptogenic organizing pneumonia. Although the data did not allow for definitive conclusions, they did suggest that the pulmonary disease was an extraintestinal manifestation of Crohn's disease, rather than an adverse reaction to mesalazine. In fact, the patient showed clinical, radiological and functional improvements, despite the treatment with mesalazine and the withdrawal of steroid therapy.

Slow Onset

Cryptogenic organizing pneumonia is a rare interstitial lung disease with different onset of symptoms, which responds rapidly to glucocorticoid treatment. We present a case of cryptogenic organizing pneumonia which manifested as a progressive 3-year dyspnea that ultimately has led to acute respiratory failure. Moreover, treatment with prednisone for this patient exhibited slow onset of the effect.
