title: Lymphocytic bronchitis/bronchiolitis in a patient with primary biliary cirrhosis.
abstract: A 39 year old woman with severe primary biliary cirrhosis progressively developed exercise dyspnoea due to airflow obstruction. Sjögren's syndrome was not present. Bronchial and pulmonary biopsies demonstrated constrictive lymphocytic bronchitis/bronchiolitis, possibly a component of a generalized autoimmune process in this patient.
