Organizing pneumonia

Occupational and environmental OP can be prevented by elimination of exposure to the agent, product substitution, ventilation, or work hazard preventive programs.

For occupational and environmental OP, patients should be aware of the causative agent and appropriate preventive measures. For lung transplantation recipients, knowledge of symptoms of early recurrence is important, as early and active treatment of OP may prevent long-term disabling bronchiolitis obliterans and interstitial fibrosis.
