Acute viral bronchiolitis in South Africa: Diagnosis and current management
Abstract
This issue of CME profiles acute viral bronchiolitis – a common
condition that is often not serious. Nonetheless, each year a number of
infants, particularly
those with an underlying susceptibility to severe
disease, are admitted to hospital or even to paediatric intensive care units.
This series of articles highlights the diagnostic principles involved, and
emphasises the principles of management and prevention.
