Diagnostic Approaches for Pediatric Bronchiolitis: Current Trends and Challenges

Abstract

Bronchiolitis, characterized by inflammation of the bronchioles, typically stems from acute viral infections and is prevalent among children below 2 years old. The resulting respiratory distress often hampers normal eating habits, leading to frequent medical consultations and hospital admissions. Consequently, bronchiolitis stands out as a primary cause for hospitalizing young children, especially during colder seasons.
