Airway responsiveness following wheezy bronchitis in infants.
The study was undertaken to assess the airway function and its response to carbachol and salbutamol in infants recovering from wheezy bronchitis. In 82 children aged 3-33 mths, free from wheeze at the time of testing, and in 14 healthy infants, airway resistance (Raw) and thoracic gas volume (TGV) were measured using a body plethysmograph. Specific airway resistance (sRaw = Raw x TGV) was calcu...
متن کاملRecurrent wheezy bronchitis and viral respiratory infections.
Fifty four patients aged from 1 to 6 years who had had recurrent attacks of wheezy bronchitis were prospectively followed up for three months to find out if there was an association between different viral respiratory infections and episodes of wheezing. Of the 115 episodes of upper or lower respiratory tract symptoms, virus or Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection were diagnosed in 52 (45%). Thirty ...
متن کاملBridging bronchus - a rare cause of recurrent wheezy bronchitis
BACKGROUND Wheezing is a common symptom in infants and toddlers. Usually it occurs due to viral infection of the lower airways and no further diagnostic procedures are necessary. However in rare cases, other reasons such as anatomical malformation have to be considered. CASE PRESENTATION We report about an infant with recurrent episodes of wheezy bronchitis, which persisted despite adequate t...
متن کاملRespiratory viral infection and wheezy bronchitis in childhood.
The role of respiratory viral infection in wheezy bronchitis was studied in 163 children, aged 0-12 years, in a London general practice. Virological investigations were also performed when these same children had acute upper respiratory illness without wheeze. A virus was isolated in 146 (26.4%) of 554 episodes of wheezy bronchitis, rhinoviruses accounting for almost half of the isolations. The...
متن کاملEffect of salbutamol in infants with wheezy bronchitis.
Using the technique of whole body plethysmography, lung mechanics were measured in a group of infants with wheezy bronchitis. Compared with a group of normal infants previously studied, airway resistance and thoracic gas volume were found to be raised. Nebulized salbutamol was then administered and measurements were repeated when it was found that there was no objective improvement. It is concl...
