| Description |
The author discusses the causes leading to the development of sinubronchial syndrome in children, especially the immaturity of the respiratory system evidenced by morphological investigations, and a poorly developed immune system, particularly the local immunity of the mucosa. Attention is called to the importance of mother's milk in the resistance of the newborn and infant, and also to the genetic features of the individual immune response. The course of viral and bacterial infections of the respiratory tract is influenced essentially by numerous exogenous factors, among them atmospheric pollution and home environment. In a clinical material comprising 212 children with chronic bronchitis follow-up investigations were carried out in 92 children aged from 3 to 14 years. In 42 children sinubronchial syndrome was diagnosed. In 27 children the first nasopharyngeal infection developed in infancy. A separate problem weas children with atopic asthma and recurrent obturative bronchitis. In about one-fourth of these patients clinical and radiological signs of sinusitis were found. In summary, it must be stated that co-operation of laryngologists and paediatricians is essential for the diagnosis of sinubronchial syndrome. |
