BACKGROUND Bronchiolitis is one of the major causes for hospital admissions in infants. Managing bronchiolitis, both in the outpatient and inpatient setting remains a challenge to the treating pediatrician. The effectiveness of various interventions used for infants with bronchiolitis remains unclear. NEED AND PURPOSE To evaluate the evidence supporting the use of currently available treatmen...

Abstract Background Bronchiolitis is a clinical syndrome commonly encountered in practice, particularly among infants and young children. To investigate the prevalence of pathogens hospitalized children with bronchiolitis study characteristics or without coinfections. Methods We investigated respiratory specimens data 1012 who were treated at Children’s Hospital Soochow University between Novem...

BACKGROUND In respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) bronchiolitis, neutrophils account for >80% of cells recovered from the airways in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid. This study investigated neutrophil activation and Toll-like receptor (TLR) expression in the blood and lungs of infants with severe RSV bronchiolitis. METHODS BAL fluid and (blood) samples were collected from 24 (16) preterm and...

Background: Bronchiolitis is predominant among infants and mostly caused by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Respiratory illnesses are related to elevated anti-diuretic hormone which in turn leads hyponatremia (<135 mmol/L) Aim: To find frequency bronchiolitis children. Methods: From December 8, 2017 June 2018, researchers from the pediatrics department of Lahore General Hospital/Post Grad...

abstract objective fever and neutropenia are a common complication of chemotherapy in cancer. it is usually managed by hospitalization and empiric administration of antibiotics. use of fluroquinolones is limited because of joint/cartilage toxicity. this study attempted to compare the efficacy of oral ciprofloxacin with intravenous ceftazidim in low risk febrile neutropenic lymphocytic leukemia....

Lower respiratory tract infections by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) are frequent in childhood. Association of RSV with bronchiolitis obliterans has rarely been established. We report a 13-month-old child with bronchiolitis obliterans following co-infection by RSV and adenovirus, and suggest that complicated evolution of an acute bronchiolitis case can indicate an association of pathogens.

Abstract Background Severe bronchiolitis requiring mechanical ventilation was associated with an absence of surfactant activity and phosphatidylglycerol, causing airway obstruction in acute bronchiolitis. Exogen mechanically ventilated infants decreased duration stay the intensive care unit had favorable effects on oxygenation carbon dioxide removal. This study aimed to evaluate budget impact t...

Viral bronchiolitis is the commonest cause of hospital admission in young infants. Respiratory syncytial virus is responsible for most cases of bronchiolitis. Secondary bacterial infection is rare and antibiotics are seldom necessary. Most children with bronchiolitis develop only mild illness and can be managed at home. Infants born prematurely, those with pre-existing cardiac or respiratory di...

Constrictive bronchiolitis is a bronchiolar airway disease that surrounds the lumen with fibrotic concentric narrowing and obliteration. The mosaic pattern seen on the expiratory high-resolution chest CT scan is diagnostic in an individual with shortness of breath, early inspiratory crackles, and irreversible airflow obstruction. Swyer-James-MacLeod syndrome is no longer considered a congenital...
