INTRODUCTION Determination of lung function in children younger than three years with bronchiolitis may aid in treatment; however, technical difficulties such as requirement of sedation and lack in standardization limit clinical use. OBJECTIVES Aim of this study was to evaluate lung function changes using the interrupter technique in unsedated wheezing children younger than 3 years during and...

Pulmonary complications occur in up to 60% of patients after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), causing significant morbidity and mortality. Among them, non-infectious bronchiolitis is considered a late complication in the form of bronchiolitis obliterans. We report a patient who developed non-infectious bronchiolitis within four weeks after undergoing HSCT for biphenotypic leukemi...
