I have OB its pretty rare... to raise a little bit of awareness heres what it is..Obliterative Bronchiolitis (OB) is a rare and currently irreversible lung disease that occurs in children and adults after injury to the lower respiratory tract. The small airways in the lungs become inflamed and scarred and this can often progress to obstructive lung disease.

OB can be caused by infection, pneumonia particularly with virus's called adenovirus...
