“…In contrast to classic constrictive bronchiolitis, which can result from exposure to toxic gases or occur secondary to autoimmune disorders,22–25 constrictive bronchiolitis in soldiers was relatively mild in most cases and not accompanied by fixed airways obstruction and/or air-trapping on chest CT. In the last 2 decades, similar findings of normal spirometry and chest CT scans have been described in biopsy-confirmed case series of constrictive bronchiolitis from Iranian survivors of sulfur mustard gas exposure and studies of flavoring/popcorn factory workers 26–29. In Gulf War soldiers, it has been difficult to reconcile the degree of dyspnea and exercise intolerance with the diagnosis of constrictive bronchiolitis alone, particularly given the relatively minor PFT abnormalities.…”

[26][27][28][29] In Gulf War soldiers, it has been difficult to reconcile the degree of dyspnea and exercise intolerance with the diagnosis of constrictive bronchiolitis alone, particularly given the relatively minor PFT abnormalities. However, the widespread nature of lung pathology documented in our study may offer a better explanation of the functional limitations in affected soldiers.…”

“… 12 In addition, small numbers of patients with BO have been reported in association with exposure to thionyl chloride used in battery production, 32 fly ash (a powdery material composed mostly of silica generated from the burning of finely ground coal in a broiler), 33 styrene in fiberglass-reinforced plastics workers, 34 , 35 and powder material used in copy-machines. 36 In rare cases, BO may develop without identifiable exposures and is designated as cryptogenic or sporadic BO. 37 …”
