Abstract
Purpose of review: To provide a comprehensive and updated overview of post-infectious bronchiolitis obliterans (PIBO) in children, focusing on pathogenesis, diagnostic approaches, and current management strategies, while highlighting emerging mechanistic insights and future therapeutic directions.
Recent findings: Recent studies emphasize neutrophilic inflammation, inflammasome activation (e.g., interleukin-18, caspase-1), and genetic susceptibility as key contributors to disease development and progression.
Summary: PIBO is a heterogeneous and often underrecognized chronic lung disease requiring a structured diagnostic approach based on clinical, functional, and radiologic criteria. Management remains largely empirical and supportive, with limited evidence for disease-modifying therapies. Improved understanding of disease mechanisms may enable the development of targeted, phenotype-directed interventions in the future.
期刊介绍：
Current Opinion in Pediatrics is a reader-friendly resource which allows the reader to keep up-to-date with the most important advances in the pediatric field. Each issue of Current Opinion in Pediatrics contains three main sections delivering a diverse and comprehensive cover of all key issues related to pediatrics; including genetics, therapeutics and toxicology, adolescent medicine, neonatology and perinatology, and orthopedics. Unique to Current Opinion in Pediatrics is the office pediatrics section which appears in every issue and covers popular topics such as fever, immunization and ADHD. Current Opinion in Pediatrics is an indispensable journal for the busy clinician, researcher or student.
