7 Jan 2016 A tissue biopsy specimen is needed for a precise diagnosis, but clinicoradiologic characteristics determined through biopsy-based studies may provide enough diagnostic information. This article discusses BOOP in the general context of organizing pneumonia; it combines data from BOOP and COP patient

An inflammatory disorder involving both the peripheral bronchioles and alveoli simultaneously. It has distinctive radiographic findings, histological features, and response to corticosteroids (unlike usual interstitial pneumonia). READ MORE. Most common type is idiopathic BOOP; other types include focal nodular,
[113–114] At present, MRI has no diagnostic role in BOOP, but it may have a role in the follow-up imaging in patients with BOOP to assess the treatment response or disease activity. Ultrasonography is useful in the detection and characterization of pleural effusion and in the guidance of pleural interventions. A recent study

Interstitial lung disease guideline: the British Thoracic Society in collaboration with the Thoracic Society of Australia and New Zealand and the Irish Thoracic Society. Thorax
Treatment Approach. BOOP is an inflammatory lung disease, so the general approach is to treat the inflammation. Corticosteroid therapy is the treatment of choice for idiopathic BOOP.
Bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP) has been individualized in the past two decades as a distinct clinicopathologic entity (1-12). The main clinical features include subacute onset of cough, fever, dyspnea, sparse crackles at auscultation, and multiple patchy, often migratory, alveolar infiltrates on chest
Bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia, also called BOOP, is a somewhat rare but serious lung disease. BOOP causes inflammation of the bronchioles, called bronchiolitis. This condition also involves the surrounding lung tissue. The alveoli, or air sacs, become plugged with connective tissue, preventing the
