No explanation was found for this particular result.…”

Su diagnóstico se presume inicialmente con la radiografía de tórax; en general las vías aéreas de pequeño calibre no son visibles con este método, sin embargo, esta patología está relacionada con cambios fibróticos y/o inflamatorios que incrementan el espesor de la pared del bronquiolo, ocasionando que estos se dilaten y se produzca un engrosamiento, siendo así visibles en la imagen diagnóstica (27).…”
