Abstract
Viral bronchiolitis, which is most commonly caused by an infection with the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), can lead to respiratory difficulties in young children which may require hospitalization. Despite years of research and medical trials, the mainstay of bronchiolitis treatment remains supportive only. This review provides an overview of the history of different treatments for bronchiolitis, including those that failed, as well as new therapies that are under study. Future studies for the treatment of bronchiolitis should consider different age-groups, important subgroups (i.e., those with a prior history of wheezing, those with a family history of asthma and those with non-RSV viral etiologies) whose response to treatment may differ from that of the composite group.
期刊介绍:
Paediatric Respiratory Reviews offers authors the opportunity to submit their own editorials, educational reviews and short communications on topics relevant to paediatric respiratory medicine. These peer reviewed contributions will complement the commissioned reviews which will continue to form an integral part of the journal.
Subjects covered include:
• Epidemiology
• Immunology and cell biology
• Physiology
• Occupational disorders
• The role of allergens and pollutants
A particular emphasis is given to the recommendation of "best practice" for primary care physicians and paediatricians.
Paediatric Respiratory Reviews is aimed at general paediatricians but it should also be read by specialist paediatric physicians and nurses, respiratory physicians and general practitioners.
It is a journal for those who are busy and do not have time to read systematically through literature, but who need to stay up to date in the field of paediatric respiratory and sleep medicine.
