Acute bronchitis in children

Acute bronchitis or acute treacheo broncitis is bronchial mucosal inflammation caused by various pathogens. Because the trachea is often affected at the same time, it is called acute bronchitis. It is more frequent and severe in infants and young children. It is often complicated or secondary to upper and lower respiratory tract infections. It is a clinical manifestation of measles, pertussis, typhoid and other acute infectious diseases. When bronchitis occurs, the trachea is mostly inflamed at the same time. If capillary bronchus is involved, the pathology and symptoms are similar to pneumonia.
