Srikanta, J. T.; Swarna, S.; Shylendra, D. S.; Mehta, Ravindra
- Abstract
Background: Tissue diagnosis of Childhood interstitial lung diseases is of paramount importance to outline management.Case characteristics: A 10-year-old boy with prolonged cough, and computed tomography of thorax with features suggestive of primary Langerhans’s cell histiocytosis.Intervention: Transbronchial cryobiopsy of lung using flexible cryoprobe, revealed a final diagnosis of Surfactant protein C/ABCA3 deficiency.Message: Transbronchial cryobiopsy of the lung can provide adequate lung tissue for a categorical diagnosis of interstitial lung diseases in children.
