Features of bronchitis in combination with various pathologies in young children

Abstract

The article presents the clinical features of bronchitis in young children with various concomitant pathologies, proving the aggravating effect of comorbidity on the course of one of the most common diseases of the respiratory system. Bronchitis against the background of thymomegaly proceeds with prolonged febrile fever followed by prolonged subfebrile condition, as well as microcirculatory disorders. The combination of bronchitis with atopic dermatitis is accompanied by respiratory disorders with a predominance of hyperproduction of bronchial secretions. Concomitant anemia leads to severe hypoxic disorders due to impaired oxygen transport in the tissue, even with mild symptoms of bronchial damage. The combination of bronchitis with purulent otitis media is characterized by severe fever and symptoms of intoxication. In children with connective tissue dysplasia, bronchitis acquires a recurrent course with a longer duration of symptoms of inflammation. The presence of features of the course of bronchitis, comorbid with concomitant pathology, dictates the need to make additions to the diagnostic and treatment program.
