  1. BOOP BRONCHIOLITIS OBLITERANS ORGANIZING PNEUMONIA ( a review )

  2. BUHMC THE BROOKDALE UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL & MEDICAL CENTERBROOKLYN, NEW YORK, NY, 11212 SIVAKUMAR PADMANABHAN, MD FELLOW, PULMONARY MEDICINE

  3. BOOP--INTRODUCTION • Bronchiolitis Obliterans - refers to a generic term of non-specific inflammatory reaction of small airways in response to exogenous/endogenous stimuli • Comprises two types - based on histopathology • Clinical features mimic pneumonia without response to antibacterial therapy

  4. BOOP - INTRODUCTION • Once BOOP is documented - look for a precipitating factor • Rx: Steroids/Immunosuppressive agents • Prognosis: Excellent for idiopathic BOOP

  5. Constrictive or Obliterative Bronchiolitis- Concentric Narrowing of Bronchioles with fibrous tissue --> airflow limitation Proliferative Bronchiolitis- Exuberant Granulation tissue and intraluminal plugs of connective tissue(Masson body) in respiratory bronchiole, alveolar duct and alveoli OB vs BOOP

  6. BOOP- EPIDEMIOLOGY • First described in 1901 by Lange • 1985-- More cases reported by Epler et al • Age incidence: 4th- 7th decades • No gender predominance seen • Incidence: 6-7 per 100,000 admissions • Smoking is not a risk factor

  7. SECONDARY BOOP IDIOPATHIC BOOP BOOP- Classification

  8. SECONDARY BOOP • Connective tissue disorders - SLE, RA, Polymyositis - Dermatomyositis, Sjogren’s syndrome, MCTD, Ulcerative Colitis, Vasculitis • Inhaled/Systemic Toxins - gases, nicotine, cocaine, CO, nitrogen, chlorine • Drugs - Penicillamine, Amiodarone, Gold, Bleomycin, Mitomycin-c, Methotrexate, Sulfasalazine

  9. SECONDARY BOOP • Interferon Rx for Hepatitis C - reported Chest 1994 Aug; 106 (2):612-3 Ogata k, Koga T, Yagawa K, Japan

  10. SECONDARY BOOP • Infections: • Mycoplasma, HIV, HSV, CMV, Rubeola, Klebsiella, Hemophilus, Legionella, Grp B- Strep, Cryptococcus, Nocardia, PCP • Pediatric • RSV, Parainfluenza, Adenovirus, Mycoplasma

  11. SECONDARY BOOP • Obstructive Pneumonitis • Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis • Aspiration Pneumonitis • Chronic Eosinophilic Pneumonia • Diffuse Alveolar Damage • Myelodysplastic Syndrome • Hematological malignancy

  12. SECONDARY BOOP • Allograft transplant • Heart, Lung, Bone Marrow • 5-15% in those with GVHD • 1% of Allogenic transplant recepients without GVHD or in Autologous transplant recepients • IPF, ARDS

  13. BOOP - CLINICAL FEATURES • SUBACUTE illness: • non-productive cough • exertional dyspnea - few weeks • Constitutional symptoms: • fever, malaise, weight loss • one- third have a preceding upper respiratory tract infection • MIMICS Community Acquired Pneumonia

  14. BOOP- CLINICAL FEATURES • Physical exam : • Tachypnea, Crackles • Clubbing is rare • Rarely BOOP can mimic Bronchogenic CA by presenting as a solitary pulmonary nodule with cavity and hemoptysis • Unilateral BOOP has been described

  15. BOOP- LAB TESTS • High ESR & CRP - secondary to inflammatory process • 1/3rd have a leukocytosis • Chest Xray: Patchy peripheral bilateral migratory alveolar infiltrates • 20-30% - reticular or nodular infiltrate • Pleural effusions in 30% due to secondary BOOP

  16. BOOP- Imaging • CXR- can be normal in 4-10% • Cavitation & lymphadenopathy are absent • Focal consolidation is a marker for a good response to steroid therapy

  17. BOOP- IMAGING • High Resolution CAT scan of Chest: patchy consolidation, ground glass opacity, nodularity with subpleural lower lobe predeliction. • Bronchial wall thickening and dilatation denote severe disease • Honey combing not seen in idiopathic BOOP

  18. PFTs in BOOP • Restrictive Defect with Low Vital capacity • Low DLCo • Resting and exercise induced Hypoxemia • Pressure-Volume curve shifted down and right due to decreased lung compliance • Obstructive defect is not a feature unless patient is a smoker

  19. BOOP- Bronchoscopy • BAL- High lymphocytes and Neutrophils • Foamy macrophages • Low CD4-CD8 ratio • Transbronchial Biopsy may miss representative lesions but may still be useful • Gold standard- Open lung or thoracoscopic lung biopsy for histopathology

  20. BOOP-Pathogenesis • Accelerated host response to injury- • Bacterial or viral antigen; • Inhaled or noxious stimulus  Lung injury Inflammatory cascade  subsequent repair

  21. BOOP-HISTOLOGY • Exuberant inflammation and fibrosis in terminal & respiratory bronchioles. • Terminal bronchioles plugged with granulation tissue, neutrophils, edema, fibrin, connective tissue, myoblasts, fibroblasts. • Extends to peribronchiolar region, alveolar duct and alveolar space - organizing pneumonia component

  22. BOOP-HISTOLOGY • Cells-mononuclear, neutrophils, eosinophils, mutinucleate giant cells. • Lesions in peribronchiolar distribution seen on low power is a clue to diagnosis. • Preserved underlying alveolar architecture • Fibrosis usually does not occur • Stereotypic response to lung injury ie lesions are of same age

  23. BOOP- DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS • Community Acquired Pneumonia • Drug Reactions, ARDS, • Chronic Eosinophilic Pneumonia, • Lymphoproliferative malignancy, • Bronchogenic ca (bronchoalveolar cell) • Histology may resemble usual intersitial pneumonitis or organising diffuse alveolar damage

  24. BOOP VS OB • Obliterative Bronchiolitis due to RA, toxic fumes, bone marrow or lung transplant • CXR - may be normal • PFTs - obstructive or mixed defect • Pathology - concentric bronchiolar narrowing by intramural fibrosis without interstital involvement

  25. BOOP vs OB • OB- Poor response to steroids • OB- Poor prognosis • OB- No spontaneous recovery

  26. BOOP--Treatment • Spontaneous recovery occurs rarely • Antibiotic therapy for underlying infections • Withdrawal of offending toxin/ drug • Supportive therapy • Steroids for idiopathic BOOP and BOOP secondary to connective tissue disorders

  27. BOOP-STEROID Rx • Prednisone- 0.5-1.0 mg/kg/day x 1-3 mos • Taper slowly over several months on individual basis • Duration of Rx 6- 12 months • Relapse may occur during steroid taper • Monitor by clinical, CXR and PFTs. • Response occurs in days to weeks

  28. BOOP-- STEROID Rx • Idiopathic BOOP responds to steroids better than BOOP due to connective tissue disorders

  29. BOOP-Prognosis • 65%- idiopathic BOOP cases have complete clinical, radiographic and physiologic resolution • 20%-Residual pulmonary fibrosis • 3-10%- mortality rate • Secondary BOOP has poor response to steroid Rx

  30. BOOP- Rx • Immunosuppressive agents - cyclophosphamide, azathioprine for those who fail to respond to steroid Rx • Low dose erythromycin has an immunomodulatory effect

  31. FULMINANT BOOP • Rapidly progressive to respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation (9 0f 10 patients in a series by Cohen & Colleagues) • Predisposed by Smoking, drugs, connective tissue disorders and environmental agents • Necropsy-septal inflammation, interstitial fibrosis & honeycombing

  32. FULMINANT BOOP • Rx: High dose steroids and immunosuppressive agents • Course: Death or severe residual pulmonary fibrosis

  33. Summary--BOOP • BOOP represents a nonspecific reaction pattern of lung to a wide variety of insults. • Clinical/Histologic correlation aids in correct assessment of diagnostic, therapeutic and prognostic significance
