Key Event Title
Bronchiolitis obliterans
Short name
Bronchiolitis obliterans is a lung disease characterized by obstruction of the smallest airways of the lungs.
The cumulative exposure to DA correlated with the degree of airway obstruction and the incidence of BO (Kreiss et al. 2002).
Forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1)
CT scan
Thoracoscopic lung biopsy showing histological and morphological changes (human, King et al. 2011)
Other typical symptoms include: dry cough, shortness of breath and wheezing.
