Abstract
Predictable widespread outbreaks of illness are caused by bronchiolitis each year. Peak incidence is between two and six months of age. Severity of disease and outcome are highly variable. Significant morbidity is associated with persistent airway derangement. This manuscript examines infant anatomy, known pathophysiology, differential diagnosis, treatment and prevention. Further research into host inflammatory response to viral antigens is necessary to determine optimum treatment and prevent pulmonary morbidity.
