In infancy, it usually results from viral infection, with RSV the most common agent. It typically begins as an upper respiratory tract infection, followed by wheezing, tachypnea, and chest retractions. Ausculation often reveals fine inspiratory crackles. Chest film findings include hyperinflation and patchy atelectasis. Oxygen saturation, as measured by pulse oximetry, may be the best clinical predictor of disease severity. The mainstays of therapy include oxygen supplementation and fluid resuscitation, and other modalities remain controversial. There are no studies to support the use of corticosteroids alone in the treatment of bronchiolitis, but several recent reports demonstrate the value of bronchodilator therapy in some patients. Anti-viral agents, such as ribavirin, may be indicated for those with severe RSV illness and those who are at increased risk for complications, such as patients with chronic lung disease.
