La bronquiolitis aguda (BA) es una enfermedad frecuente en niños menores de dos años. Los síntomas son congestión nasal, fiebre y tos, seguidos de aleteo nasal y dificultad respiratoria. Un pequeño porcentaje de casos de BA presentan suficiente gravedad como para requerir ingreso hospitalario. Esta enfermedad, a largo plazo, puede asociarse a episodios de sibilancias recurrentes y a una mayor incidencia de asma.
A lo largo de los años se ha demostrado en muchos estudios que el tabaquismo materno durante la gestación tiene graves consecuencias para el feto, pero la asociación de éste con la BA no ha sido suficientemente estudiada.
Acute bronchiolitis (BA) is a recurrent disease in children under the age of two, symptoms it associates are nasal congestión, fever and cough, followed by nasal flutter and shortness of breath.
A small percentage of BA cases are severe enough to require hospital admission.
This long-term condition can be associated with recurrent wheezing episodes and a higher incidence of asthma.
Over the years it has been shown in many studies that maternal smoking has serious consequences for the fetus, but his association with BA has not been sufficiently studied.
A cohort study is proposed to determine whether in children of mothers who smoke during pregnancy, the incidence of BA during the first twelve months of life, is increased.
