- Swyer-James syndrome
- MacLeod syndrome
- Controversy regarding eponyms to be ascribed to syndrome
- MacLeod presented report of 9 patients with "abnormal transradiancy of 1 lung," which was "small or normal size" at the British Thoracic Society meeting in London in February of 1952
- Swyer and James published case of "unilateral pulmonary emphysema" in 1953
- MacLeod published his work in 1954
Definitions
- Constrictive bronchiolitis secondary to childhood infectious bronchiolitis (typically from adenovirus infection)
- Constrictive bronchiolitis: Irreversible obstructive small airways disease characterized by submucosal and peribronchiolar fibrosis with resultant destruction and obliterative scarring of small airways
