Resumen
GOMEZ VIRACACHA, Ingrid Mayerly et al. Characterization of Pediatric Patients Diagnosed with Post-Infectious Bronchiolitis Obliterans 2600 Meters above Sea Level. Univ. Med. [online]. 2020, vol.61, n.1, pp.21-29. ISSN 0041-9095. https://doi.org/10.11144/javeriana.umed61-1.nmar.
Aim:
To characterize a group of pediatric patients diagnosed with post-infectious bronchiolitis obliterans (PIBO) at a university hospital in Bogotá.
Methods:
A total of 2,635 PIBO-compatible clinical histories were reviewed. Pre-defined inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied, and 19 cases were retrieved and used to develop an observational, descriptive, and retrospective study.
Results:
The mean age for developing acute lower respiratory tract infection (ALRTI) was 18 months. The average hospitalization was 14.5 days, 21.5 % of patients required attention at a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU), and mechanical ventilation was applied for 10 % of these cases. A total of 30 % of the patients had microbiological isolation, 10.5 % corresponded to a respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and 5 % corresponded to a mixed isolation (adenovirus and RSV). All patients had chest high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scans, which revealed a mosaic pattern of attenuation in 89.4 % of all cases.
Conclusions:
The sample showed clinical and radiological characteristics similar to those described in other case series worldwide.
