[Successful bleomycin treatment of bronchopulmonary papillomatosis in a child].
The patient suffered from recurrent stridor since the eighth month of life; during the seventh hospitalization at the age of 2 1/2 years laryngeal papillomas were found. Surgical removal of the papillomas was attempted several times. Despite this bronchopulmonary papillomas were seen on chest X-ray films at the age of seven years. After intravenous bleomycin therapy (7 mg/sqm twice weekly for nine weeks) the infiltrates disappeared and the patient has remained free of symptoms til now (18 months later).
