Unlabelled: Postinfectious bronchiolitis obliterans (PIBO) is an infrequent chronic lung that causes irreversible obstruction and, or, obliteration of the smaller airways. This review particularly focuses on more than 30 studies from South America.
Conclusion: The initial PIBO event occurs in the early years of life and is strongly associated with adenovirus infection and the need for mechanical ventilator support. Treatment requires a multidisciplinary strategy. Multicentre studies are needed to determine progression, optimal management and long-term follow-up.

Background: Adenovirus (ADV) pneumonia in children is a significant contributor to the occurrence of post-infectious bronchiolitis obliterans (BO). Heparin sodium has known anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and tissue repair properties. However, its role in treating BO after ADV infection remains unclear.

Article Synopsis
- Post-infectious bronchiolitis obliterans (PIBO) is a serious chronic lung disease in children that can develop after severe respiratory infections, and recognizing risk factors can enhance treatment options.
- A study examined 308 children under five with PIBO and found high rates of ventilation use, co-infections, and a history of atopic conditions, with adenovirus often being a primary cause.
- Further analysis indicated that co-infection, atopic conditions, and the length of fever are significant independent risk factors for developing PIBO following adenovirus pneumonia.

Background: Risk factors for progression of adenovirus (AdV)-associated bronchiolitis (AdV-B) to post-infectious bronchiolitis obliterans (PIBO) are poorly defined. We aimed to investigate this in a multicenter cohort.
Methods: A multicenter hospital-based analysis included children admitted with AdV-B in Jerusalem during 2016-2022.
