Emergent lung function techniques applicable to pre-school children and useful in detecting lung disease are available. Lung function impairments are variable even within specific diseases, reflecting the heterogeneity and continuum of disease related pathophysiology. Spirometry is limited used alone, ...

The microbiota in bronchoalveolar lavage from young children with chronic lung disease includes taxa present in both the oropharynx and nasopharynx Invasive methods requiring general anaesthesia are needed to sample the lung microbiota in young children who do not expectorate. This poses substantial ch....
Chronic lung disease (CLD) is a common co-morbidity for HIV-positive children and adolescents on antiretroviral therapy (ART) in sub-Saharan Africa. In this population, distinct airway microbiota may differentially confer risk of CLD. In a cross-sectional study of 202 HIV-infected children aged ...
Seven children aged 3 months to 11 years with histologically confirmed interstitial lung disease (ILD) [6 with desquamative interstitial pneumonitis (DIP) and 1 with chronic interstitial pneumonitis] were treated with chloroquine, 10 mg/kg/day. One patient, diagnosed late in the course of the di...
Asthma—the number of children with asthma increases each year. Better treatment for asthma reduces the chance of hospitalization, need for emergency treatment, and death due to asthma. Cystic fibrosis—an inherited lung disease for which there is no cure. Early (even prenatal) diagnosis can lead...
It is the most common chronic disease among children. During 2006–2008, asthma affected between 7.5 and 15 percent of people over the age of 18 years. Among women, the rates were 18.2 percent for Hispanics, 9.3 percent for white non-Hispanics, 19.1 percent for mixed race, and 9.5 percent...
