Abstract
Long-term survivors of bronchopulmonary dysplasia develop chronic obstructive lung disease. Herein we report in vivo histopathology from bronchial biopsies of 3 adolescent survivors of severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Thickened basement membranes with lymphocytic infiltrates and signs of immature neoangiogenesis in the absence of T-helper lymphocytes or eosinophils suggest the presence of an ongoing active airway process.
