Suggest Complications With Bronchiolitis Obliterans (BO) In Males

Hi, My husband is having BO and is prescribed tildiem for rest of his life. He has been diagnosed with BP 12 years ago. He is 37 years old now. I am bothered by his health condition and want to understand is there something really worrying with his health?

Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP) is chronic lung disease caused by exposure of specific allergens.
It is treatable if we can identify the causative allergen.
So get done detailed allergy testing for your husband and identify the allergen.
Complete avoidance of that allergen along with long term steroids (2-3 months) are must for faster recovery.
So consult pulmonologist and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your husband. Thanks.
