Obliterative bronchiolitis is rare in the general population. Swyer-James syndrome is a rare complication of obliterative bronchiolitis caused by measles or adenovirus. Less common conditions that may present similarly include bronchopulmonary dysplasia and obliterative bronchiolitis. This type of VUE is linked with foetal vascular obtrusive lesions (Obliterative Foetal Vasculopathy). Other serious side effects include liver problems, obliterative bronchiolitis, and myasthenia gravis. Ultimately, these techniques would be used to address both ischemia-reperfusion injury and obliterative bronchiolitis. The name cryptogenic obliterative (constrictive) bronchiolitis is used when a cause is unknown. Obliterative bronchiolitis reduces this to between 16% and 21%. Obliterative bronchiolitis affects up to 5.5% of people who have received HSCT. This pattern is often described as a "mosaic pattern", and may indicate obliterative bronchiolitis. The two branches are then named "obliterative coloration" and "mimicry". Obliterative bronchiolitis is also not to be confused with bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS). Obliterative bronchiolitis results in worsening shortness of breath, wheezing, and a dry cough.
