Аннотация

The aim of the work was to identify risk factors and characteristics of the course of acute bronchiolitis in children in order to improve the organization of therapeutic and preventive measures based on the study of anamnestic, clinical, laboratory, immunological and bacteriological data. 54 infants with acute bronchiolitis (AB) were examined. All patients underwent general clinical and laboratory-instrumental examination and bacteriological examination of feces. Risk factors (prematurity, birth during the cold season, a history of intrauterine pneumonia, lack and short duration of breastfeeding, microbial imbalance and bacterial colonization of the intestine) contribute to the onset and development of acute bronchiolitis, they should be taken into account in the process of choosing treatment tactics and preventing disease progression .
