Bronchiolitis
Conditions
Brief summary
Pleuropulmonary echography remains an almost non-existent tool in routine pediatric practice. Our study is part of a desire to develop its use in pediatrics, in particular for the diagnosis of acute bacterial pneumonitis associated with acute bronchiolitis among infants.
Interventions
