Chest. 1989 Jun;95(6):1342-4. doi: 10.1378/chest.95.6.1342.

Abstract

To expand the clinical spectrum of ulcerative colitis-associated lung disease, we describe a patient with panbronchiolitis associated with ulcerative colitis. In addition to his having a distinctive pulmonary manifestation of this bowel disease, other noteworthy aspects of this patient's course include the onset of pulmonary symptoms several years prior to bowel manifestations and the partial resolution of his pulmonary symptoms following colectomy.
