Lung function after acute bronchiolitis.
We performed 211 lung function measurements on 93 children in the first year after they had been admitted with acute bronchiolitis. During the convalescent phase of the illness, 77% of the infants were hyperinflated with a thoracic gas volume greater than 40 ml/kg and 3 months later 43% were hyperinflated. Twelve months after the initial illness, 17% still had lung function abnormalities and mo...
متن کاملLatent sensitisation to respiratory syncytial virus during acute bronchiolitis and lung function after recovery.
To determine whether latent sensitivity to respiratory syncytial virus antigen(s) occurs after infection, 27 infants with acute bronchiolitis were studied and compared with 15 hospital controls. Blood was collected for whole blood challenge, and histamine release was measured by a high performance liquid chromatography technique with fluorometric detection. There was a significantly greater his...
متن کاملBronchiolitis Obliterans After Lung Transplantation
ing lung transplantation is 71%, and 46% of trans¬ plant recipients will survive at least 5 years.1 Al¬ though infections, medication-related adverse events, and malignancies remain important compli¬ cations, prolonged survival is limited predominantly by bronchiolitis obliterans (RO), a condition that was associated with transplantation more than a decade ago.25 Data suggest that at least 50% ...
متن کاملReduced lung function both before bronchiolitis and at 11 years.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS We have previously shown an association between reduced premorbid lung function (V'maxFRC) and bronchiolitis. We hypothesised that individuals with bronchiolitis will go on to have reduced lung function and increased respiratory symptoms in childhood. METHODS V'maxFRC was measured at 1 month of age; individuals with bronchiolitis were prospectively identified. Annual sympt...
متن کاملThe role of autoimmunity in obliterative bronchiolitis after lung transplantation.
First performed in the 1960s with long-term successes achieved in the 1980s, lung transplantation remains the only definitive treatment option for end-stage lung disease. Chronic lung rejection, pathologically classified as obliterative bronchiolitis (OB) with its clinical correlate referred to as bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome, is the limiting factor than keeps 5-yr survival rates for lung ...
