Phenotypical Characterization of Airway Morphology in Post-Infectious vs Post-Lung Transplantation Bronchiolitis Obliterans

Purpose null Post-infectious bronchiolitis obliterans (PIBO) forms a chronic obstructive lung disease in children following a severe viral respiratory infection. Subsequent dysanaptic lung growth, with differential development of the alveolar compartment over the airway compartment, was clinically described, but remains elusive. We therefore performed a detailed 3D airway characterization in PIBO compared to bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome...
