BRONCHIOLITIS
An
Pathophysiology
Viral infection
Inflammation + activation of
eosinophils, neutrophils and
mycoplasma
Narrowing of peripheral
airways
Cell-mediated hypersensitivity +
release of lymphokines
Clinical Manifestation
Breathlessness
Tachypnoea
Cough
Mild
fever
Expiratory wheezing
Rhinorrhea
Investigations
Respiratory
cannulae
Antiviral drug ( Ribavirin ) shortens viral
excretion and clinical symptoms.
Fluids may need to be given by nasogastric
tube or intravenously
Mechanical ventilation is required in about
2% of infants admitted to hospitals.
Nebulised bronchodilators, antibiotics and
steroids have been not validated for
effective therapies but may be tried on a
case by case basis.
Prognosis
Most
Prevention
A
monoclonal antibody
( Palivizumab ) to RSV is given
monthly by intramuscular injection
ACUTE BRONCHITIS
DEFINITION
Sudden
Bacterial
infection with :
- Mycoplasma pneumoniae
- Chlamydia pneumoniae
- Bordetella pertussis (whooping
cough)
AETIOLOGY
Viruses
RISK FACTORS
Air
pollutants
Allergies
Chronic sinusitis
Lack of pertussis immunization
Malnutrition (particularly in children)
Exposure to chemicals, fumes and
dust
Smoke inhalation
PATOMECHANISME
Viral/ bacterial infection
Inflammation of the mucous membrane of the
bronchial tubes
Produce thick sticky mucous
Mucous reduces the normal defensive function of
the cilia, which is responsible for moving
secretions and debris out of the lungs
Inflammation & accumulated mucous narrow the
airways, restrict respiration & promote bacterial
infections
TREATMENT
Medical tretment
Antibiotics
Bronchodilators Albuterol
Decongestants Pseudoephedrine
Non-medical treatment
Rest
Increase humidity
Increase fluid intake
PREVENTION
Good
hygiene
Immunization against influenza and
pertussis
Avoid cigarettes, second hand smoke
Avoid heavy fumes
