J Clin Outcomes Manage  2007 Apr;14(4):205-210 Diagnosis and treatment of infants with bronchiolitis Quintero DR, Gershan WM Abstract Objective: To review the diagnosis and management of bronchiolitis. Methods: Qualitative review of the literature. Results: Bronchiolitis is a common disease that affects most children under 2 years of age. The most common etiology is respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection. The diagnosis is usually clinical, although rapid screening tests are available that can assist with early identification and decrease the use of unnecessary treatment. Observation, hydration, and oxygen remain the mainstays of treatment. Palivizumab has been a major advance in the control of RSV infection and has helped to decrease long-term complications in vulnerable populations. Conclusion: Acute management of bronchiolitis varies. Routine use of medications to treat bronchiolitis is not necessary Clinical Review Article Search the Turner White index to find abstracts of articles published in JCOM.
