“…25 Thoracic radiography may be normal or show hyperinflation from air trapping; airway wall thickening also may be appreciated. 25,35 High-resolution CT predominantly identifies mosaic attenuation, bronchiolectasis or bronchiectasis, and air trapping accentuated on expiratory views. 10,27 Most cases are progressive, poorly responsive to corticosteroids and result in respiratory failure and death.…”

This Perspectives in Veterinary Medicine article seeks to define, describe putative causes, and discuss key diagnostic tests for primary and secondary bronchiolar disorders to propose a classification scheme in cats with support from a literature review and case examples. The small airways (bronchioles with inner diameters <2 mm), located at the transitional zone between larger conducting airways and the pulmonary acinus, have been overlooked as major contributors to clinical syndromes of respiratory disease in cats. Because the trigger for many bronchiolar disorders is environmental and humans live in a shared environment with similar susceptibility, understanding these diseases in pet cats has relevance to One Health. Thoracic radiography, the major imaging modality used in the diagnostic evaluation of respiratory disease in cats, has low utility in detection of bronchiolar disease. Computed tomography (CT) with paired inspiratory and expiratory scans can detect pathology centered on small airways. In humans, treatment of bronchiolar disorders is not well established because of heterogeneous presentations and often late definitive diagnosis. A review of the human and veterinary medical literature will serve as the basis for a proposed classification scheme in cats. A case series of cats with CT or histopathologic evidence of bronchiolar lesions or both, either as a primary disorder or secondary to extension from large airway disease or interstitial lung disease, will be presented. Future multi‐institutional and multidisciplinary discussions among clinicians, radiologists, and pathologists will help refine and develop this classification scheme to promote early and specific recognition and optimize treatment.

“…Поскольку внутридольковые узелки, исходя из названия, расположены в центре вторичной дольки, они отсутствуют в легочной паренхиме на границе с плеврой (включая плевральные щели), что является важным дифференциальным признаком [4,[6][7][8]. Центрилобулярные узелки могут быть вариабельны по размерам и плотности: от микроузелков (размерами до 3 мм, по классификации сообщества Fleischner, [1]) до узелков до 1 см в диаметре; от узелков плотности «матового стекла» до очагов консолидации [9,10].…”

“…При хроническом инфекционном бронхиолите, помимо непосредственных признаков воспаления малых дыхательных путей, можно обнаружить симптомы длительно текущего воспалительного процесса в легких: бронхо-и бронхиолоэктазы, участки фиброза, фиброателектазы (рис. 4, 5) [2,7,13,14].…”

The «bronchiolitis» unites a heterogeneous group of diseases of inflammatory nature, the anatomical substrate of which are Airways without cartilage wall-bronchioles. Despite the etiological diversity of bronchiolitis, pathomorphological they manifest a certain set of changes in the lung tissue. This determines the similarity of visualization of different types of bronchiolitis during computed tomography of the chest. The key to successful diagnosis of bronchiolitis is a clear understanding of the definition of this pathology and a comprehensive analysis by a Clinician of anamnestic, clinical, laboratory and radiological data. In this article, we will consider three types of cellular bronchiolitis, which are combined by imaging on computed tomography of the chest pattern «tree in the kidneys»: infectious, aspiration bronchiolitis and diffuse panbronchiolitis.

Adult bronchiolitis – A clinical and pathological interpretative classification

Abstract: This trial showed that the vast majority of diagnosis obtained corresponded to bronchiolitis as secondary to pulmonary pathology. In most cases, morphological findings had to be complemented with clinical and radiological characteristics, in order to obtain the final diagnosis.
