Pneumopathie organisée au cours d’une maladie cœliaque chez l’enfant

Organizing pneumonia (OP), or bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP), is rare, particularly in children. It affects the small airways and belongs to the group of interstitial lung diseases. Approximately 20 cases in children have been reported, the lack of knowledge of this disease making the diagnosis less likely. Contrary to the findings in adults, where the cryptogenic form is widely present, OP in pediatrics often occurs after a definite cause (infection, transplant, etc.) or in a specific context (dysimmune disease). We report on a teenager who presented with OP in the context of celiac disease, the first case of this association described in the literature.
