Abstract
Three children with cartilage-hair hypoplasia presented with chronic obstructive symptoms and bronchiolar wall thickening on high-resolution computed tomography scanning. In all children, surgical lung biopsy demonstrated diffuse dilated lymphoplasmacytic bronchiolitis. The bronchiolar wall was infiltrated by a lymphocyte sheath with plasma cell differentiation and dispersed secondary follicles. Clarithromycin substantially improved respiratory symptoms and pulmonary function, allowing children to return home.
