title: Late onset of spontaneous pneumothorax complicating acute bronchiolitis in a 5-month-old infant: case report and literature review.
abstract: The literature contains only a few reported cases of spontaneous pneumothorax complicating acute bronchiolitis in infants. We present a case of a 5-month-old infant with a presentation of spontaneous pneumothorax 7 days after hospitalization for acute bronchiolitis. The characteristics of this particular manifestation are discussed.
