title: [Bronchologic studies in East Germany: current status and perspectives].
abstract: Within a period of 8 years (1979 to 1986) there were performed in 21 centres of the German Democratic Republic 15,049 bronchoscopic investigations (in 49.6 per cent combined with a subsequent bronchography) in 11,717 children, including 2,054 (17.5 per cent) up to one year of age. The detailed analysis shows important trends, which allow a reasonable prognosis of the perspectives of pediatric bronchology in the GDR.
