Abstract
Wheezing is a high pitched, whistling sound generated when air flows through narrowed airways and is often equated with asthma. However, wheezing may be a presenting symptom of various other conditions including structural lesions of the airways, foreign body aspiration, pulmonary infections as well as cardiac causes. Underlying etiology of wheezing may also vary with age. Detailed history, physical examination, and laboratory investigations are often required to identify the underlying etiology of wheezing. Additional studies may sometimes be needed to accurately identify the underlying etiology such as pulmonary function test or spirometry, chest radiography (chest X-ray), and bronchoscopy. This review article discusses the common causes of wheezing encountered in clinical practice. [Pediatr Ann. 2024;53(5):e189-e194.].
喘鸣是空气流过狭窄的气道时产生的高音调啸叫声，通常与哮喘等同。然而，喘息也可能是其他各种疾病的症状，包括气道结构性病变、异物吸入、肺部感染以及心脏病等。喘息的潜在病因也可能随年龄而变化。通常需要通过详细的病史、体格检查和实验室检查来确定喘息的潜在病因。有时可能还需要进行其他检查，如肺功能检查或肺活量测定、胸部 X 光检查和支气管镜检查，以准确确定潜在病因。这篇综述文章讨论了临床实践中常见的喘息病因。[2024;53(5):e189-e194.].
