ABSTRACT
Acute bronchiolitis is a common disease of infants affecting the small airways. Rarely, acute bronchiolitis may occur in adolescents and adults. Here, we present four unrelated adolescent patients with severe clinical presentation and unique CT imaging with extensive tree-in-bud pattern, representing a rare clinical phenotype of acute diffuse panbronchiolitis. This characteristic disease pattern caused by inhalation injury from waterpipes, smoked tobacco, and cannabinoids must be differentiated from e-cigarette or vaping product-use-associated lung injury (EVALI). Visual diagnosis of CT and an early diagnostic procedure for detection and differentiation of inhaled hazards, including sample storage for future identification of novel noxious agents, are warranted.
