Can someone explain bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia?

Complex: This is a histologic diagnosis of uncertain etiology which was first described in japan. It is a form of lung infiltrate followed by granulomatous formations which destroy the bronchi. This can be managed with steroids, but may also be a fatal illness.
