The objective is (1) To evaluate the change in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV 1 ), forced vital capacity (FVC), dyspnea grading, body mass index, and oxygen saturation (SpO 2 ) in adults with postinfectious obliterative bronchiolitis (PIOB) over a period of time (2) To evaluate the same parameters in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients and compare with PIOB.
