We report on two Turkish children who presented with progressive airway obstruction. Open lung biopsy revealed follicular bronchiolitis. The children were treated with systemic steroids and various topical medications. Whereas the respiratory situation of patient 1 required immunosuppressive therapy, the condition of patient 2 stabilised without systemic medication.
Diagnosis of follicular bronchiolitis should be considered when children present with recurrent respiratory tract infections, progressive dyspnoea, and chronic bronchial obstruction. Children in whom follicular bronchiolitis is suspected should undergo open lung biopsy for confirmation of diagnosis.
我们报告了两名患有进行性气道阻塞的土耳其儿童。开胸肺活检显示为滤泡性细支气管炎。这两名儿童接受了全身用类固醇和各种局部用药治疗。患者1的呼吸状况需要免疫抑制治疗，而患者2的病情在未使用全身药物的情况下得到了稳定。
当儿童出现反复呼吸道感染、进行性呼吸困难和慢性支气管阻塞时，应考虑滤泡性细支气管炎的诊断。疑似滤泡性细支气管炎的儿童应进行开胸肺活检以确诊。
