Clinical, roentgenologic and physiologic manifestations of 3 adult patients with biopsy-proved bronchiolitis fibrosa obliterans illustrate the varied clinical features of the different stages of this disease and emphasize the rapidly progressive nature of the disorder in some patients. Although the chronic stage of bronchiolitis fibrosa obliterans was not previously shown to respond to corticosteroid therapy, both of these patients with this stage of the disease had a dramatic response to high-dose prednisone. The 1 patient with the acute stage of the disease had complete resolution of his disease with treatment. Apparently, early diagnosis and treatment are important in determining the clinical course of the disease.
