  • Title: RSV: Management of the acute episode.
    Author: Hodge D, Chetcuti PA.
    Journal: Paediatr Respir Rev; 2000 Sep; 1(3):215-20. PubMed ID: 12531082.
    Abstract:
    Bronchiolitis is the most common lower respiratory tract infection in infants and is responsible for the majority of paediatric hospital admissions in the winter. Despite significant advances in pharmacotherapy, the management of infants with bronchiolitis has changed little over the years from supplemental oxygen and good fluid management. This paper reviews current treatment options for bronchiolitis, including the use of bronchodilators, adrenaline, steroids and ribavirin. More recent advances, including immunotherapy and intensive care, are discussed.
