This study presents an updated classification of bronchiolitis, categorizing forms by morphologic features to improve diagnostic specificity beyond the general term "small airways disease". This aids in associating specific causes with distinct bronchiolitis patterns.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Pathology
  • Morphology

Background:

  • Bronchiolitis encompasses classical acute and chronic forms, alongside special types like obliterative, respiratory, follicular, and emerging entities such as Sauropus-induced bronchiolitis.
  • Pulmonologists often use the general term 'small airways disease' instead of more specific, etiology-directed diagnoses derived from morphologic examination.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present an updated classification of all recognized forms of bronchiolitis.
  • To structure this classification based on morphologic features for improved diagnostic clarity.

Main Methods:

  • Review and synthesis of existing literature on bronchiolitis classifications.
  • Organization of bronchiolitis forms based on distinct morphologic characteristics.

Main Results:

  • An updated classification system for bronchiolitis, categorized by morphology, is proposed.
  • Specific morphologic patterns are linked to etiological agents (e.g., eosinophilic bronchiolitis in asthma, necrotizing bronchiolitis in viral infections).
  • Acknowledges that a single etiologic agent can manifest with multiple morphologic reactions, leading to overlapping appearances.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed morphologic classification enhances diagnostic specificity for bronchiolitis.
  • This approach facilitates better association between observed morphologic patterns and underlying causes.
  • Recognizes the complexity of bronchiolitis where etiology and morphology may not always present a one-to-one correlation.
