title: [Acute nonbacterial bronchopneumopathies in the 1st years of life. Diagnostic strategies and clinico-epidemiological peculiarities].
abstract: The authors summarise diagnostic strategies an clinical epidemiologic peculiarities of non-bacterial bronchopneumopathies in children. The role of classic viral agents (virus influenzal A-B, virus parainfluenza 2-3, RVS) is stressed without neglecting the role of other etiologic agents such as Chlamydia trachomatis, Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Pneumocystis carinii. The Authors point out the necessity of direct investigation (viral cultures, direct investigation in IF and ELISA, investigation with DNA probe use, etc.) and indirect serologic investigation to obtain the greatest possible accuracy an early diagnosis.
