ABSTRACT

The acute BQL is one of the major cause of infections in the lower respiratory tract in children under two years, the highest incidence occurs between 3 and 6 months of age, during the winter months, the main causative agent is the VRS, this condition leads to high costs in the health system and if it’s not treated properly can be a high mortality rate, thus is essential to provide good management. Many studies are currently underway looking for the best way to tackle this disease, however, so far the only study well-established has been to provide support as base treatment, and still continues analyzing other recommendations such as the use of bronchodilators, exclusively in patients who manifest clinical improvement when used, and the risk-benefit of many other options such as corticosteroids, adrenaline, Ribavirin, etc. The truth is that the management of acute BQL remains a medical challenge in dealing with his patient, and even all the investigations carried out have not been able to establish optimal treatment and standardized evidencing improvement in all treated cases.
