[Lung Function, Lung Clearance Index und Bronchial Inflammation in Children and Adolescents with Bronchiolitis obliterans].

DISCUSSION: In BO patients, lung function in childhood and adolescence is severely impaired. Furthermore, we were able to demonstrate the sensitivity and reproducibility of LCI and its value for the evaluation of small airway obstruction. In induced sputum, a neutrophil-dominated airway inflammation is detectable. PMID: 30895589 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
