Diffuse panbronchiolitis (DPB) is an inflammatory disease affecting all layers of the respiratory bronchioles that causes progressive suppurative and obstructive respiratory disease.
Signs and symptoms of DPB include chronic sinusitis, productive cough with purulent sputum, dyspnea on exertion, wheezing, and weight loss (occurs with worsening symptoms).
Diagnosis of DPB is based on the diagnostic criteria made by the Ministry of Health and Welfare of Japan.
Failure to treat DPB can lead to development of bronchiectasis, progressive respiratory failure and death.
