@entity25081 represents the most common lower @entity10201 tract @entity281 in @entity1 and young @entity1 and is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. @entity10201 is the most frequently identified virus, but many other viruses may also cause acute @entity5924 . There is no common @entity25081 used internationally, and this may explain part of the @entity911 in the literature. Most @entity1 with @entity5924 have a self limiting mild disease and can be safely managed at home with careful attention to feeding and @entity10201 status. Criteria for referral and admission vary between hospitals as do clinical practice in the management of @entity25081 , and there is @entity911 and lack of evidence over the best treatment for this condition. Supportive care, including administration of @entity26 and fluids, is the cornerstone of current treatment. The majority of @entity1 and @entity1 with @entity5924 do not require specific measures. Bronchodilators should not be routinely used in the management of @entity25081 , but may be effective in some @entity1 . Most of the commonly used management modalities have not been shown to have a clear beneficial effect on the course of the disease. For example, inhaled and systemic @entity288 , @entity4352 receptor antagonists, immunoglobulins and monoclonal antibodies, antibiotics, antiviral therapy, and chest physiotherapy should not be used routinely in the management of @entity5924 . The potential effect of hypertonic saline on the course of the @entity697 is promising, but further studies are required. In critically ill @entity1 with @entity5924 , today there is little justification for the use of surfactant and heliox. Nasal continuous positive airway pressure may be beneficial in @entity1 with severe @entity5924 but a large trial is needed to determine its value. Finally, very little is known on the effect of the various interventions on the development of post-bronchiolitic wheeze.
