Paying attention to the bronchiolitis in children
LU Quan
Abstract：Bronchiolitis is a common respiratory disorder in childhood and bronchiolitis generally refers to a group of disorders in which a variety of pathogenic factors cause bronchiolar damage,resulting in reactive inflammatory cell infiltration and fibrous tissue hyperplasia.Pathologically bronchiolar diseases are divied into primary and secondary categories.Bronchioles are the end point of airway conduction area and its unique anatomical and physiological characteristics make it a good place for many diseases.Acute infectious bronchiolitis is one of the most common types,while bronchiolitis obliterans (BO) is attracting more and more attention in pediatric clinical practice and diffuse pan-bronchiolitis (DPB) has also been reported in children.Pediatricians need to improve their knowledge of bronchiolitis.Bronchiolar diseases and diffuse interstitial lung fibrosis are quite overlapped.It is necessary to take a holistic view of the intrinsic relationship between lung parenchyma and pulmonary interstitial.It should be regarded as the only correct choice to make standard diagnosis and treatment of bronchiolitis.
