| Abstract text: | The authors define Bronchiolitis obliterans, an entity in which the bronchioles and smaller airways are impaired and the attempted repair produces large amounts of granulation tissue that causes airway obstruction authors also emphasized the clinical pattern, the chest Roentgen graphic findings and some therapeutic attempts. The results of the study point out the following percentage: 6.3% relapse and 4.6% recurrence. The serious forms of Bronchiolitis with acute breathing insufficiency occurred in 47,6% cases and the duration of the disease was under 14 days in 66,8% of the cases. As far as the biological handicap is concerned anemia is most frequently associated with bronchiolitis and paratrophic and atopic patients the illness has a prolonged evolution in most of the cases. The authors proposed to put forth the frequency of replace and recurrence in the cases of acute bronchiolitis to study the forms of clinical seriousness and the duration in time of the disease as well as to estimate the implications of the biological handicap in the evolution of the disease. The study was made during a three-year period of time on 500 children from six months old to two years old hospitalized with Pediatrics Clinic of Arad. |
