Summary Diffuse panbronchiolitis is a progressive fatal respiratory disease of unknown cause seen predominantly in Southeast Asian adults. We report this condition in a 10‐year‐old child of Korean birth because of the uncommon presentation at this age and the favorable outcome associated with early diagnosis. Our objective was also to demonstrate the gradual but complete resolution of the disease and sustained remission from early institution of azithromycin.
