A case of unilateral bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP).
A patient with unilateral bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP) is described in this report. The disease responded well to glucocorticoid therapy, as is characteristic. Although BOOP is being more frequently recognized as bilateral disease to the best of our knowledge, only three previous cases of unilateral disease have been recognized and reported.
