Abstract
- A 5-year-old Korean boy was admitted with dyspnea, intermittent cyanosis and finger clubbing. He was diagnosed to be suffering measles pneumonia 3 years ago. Plain radiograph showed collapse of the right lung, mediastinal shifting and infiltration on both lower lung fields. High resolution computerized tomography revealed a central bronchiectasis with mosaic hyperinflation. All of the clinical information indicated that the severity of illness score was 4 of bronchiolitis obliterans (BO). The bronchoalveolar lavage cellular profile showed predominant neutrophilia. BO with finger clubbing has been rarely reported previously in childhood. We report a case of BO with finger clubbing in children with regard to clinical presentation of measles complicated pneumonia.
