Abstract

Objective: To describe some clinical and paraclinical characteristics and results of treatment for bronchiolitis at Hai Phong Children's Hospital (HCH) from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022. Subjects and methods: Descriptive study using retrospective data of all 259 medical records of patients with bronchiolitis treated as inpatients at the Respiratory Department - Hai Phong Children's Hospital. Results: Bronchiolitis was more common in children under 12 months of age, more in boys than girls and more in suburban children than urban children. The disease was common in the period from May to September with the most common symptoms such as: cough, tachypnea, rhonchus and wheezes. 38/259 cases were positive for RSV (14.7%). The majority of patients were cured, but 6/259 cases (2.3%) having severe illness requiring referral. Conclusion: at HCH, the rate of children over 6 months old with bronchiolitis tends to increase and the rate of RSV-positive case tends to decrease compared to those before the outbreak of COVID-19 epidemic.
