Overview
Bronchiolitis was first described in 1822, at the university of Minnesota. Bronchiolitis obliterans was first established as a separate pathological entity and fully described by Dr. Lange, a physician, in 1901. The recent popular trend of vaping, in particular flavored vapors, has brought about an increased incidence in irreversible bronchiolitis obliterans, also known as popcorn lung disease.
Historical Perspective
Discovery
- Bronchiolitis was first described in 1822, at the university of Minnesota.[1]
- Bronchiolitis obliterans was first established as a separate pathological entity and fully described by Dr. Lange, a physician, in 1901.
- In 1941, LaDue was the first to discover the association between irritant fumes and the development of bronchiolitis obliterans.
Outbreaks
Bronchiolitis obliterans became prevalent amongst popcorn factory workers that inhaled diacetyl contained within the butter flavoring.
Impact on Cultural History
The recent popular trend of vaping, in particular flavored vapors, has brought about an increased incidence in irreversible bronchiolitis obliterans, also known as popcorn lung disease.
