[Radiology of diffuse panbronchiolitis: experience in VGH-Taipei].
Eleven cases of diffuse panbronchiolitis (DPB) were reported. According to plain chest film (10 cases) and high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) (11 cases) findings, all were grouped as x-ray type B or CT type II advanced stage. Among them, 4 cases were grouped between CT type II-III; 3, CT type III-IV. All 11 patients had history of chronic paranasal sinusitis (CPS). Three patients had HLA typing. 1 had positive HLA Bw54; 3, HLA Cw1. We suggested patient with CPS, positive HLA Bw54 and Cw1 typing and clinically suspected DPB, radiological study including HRCT should be done.
