Six healthy @entity1 , 5 @entity1 and 1 @entity1 aged from 13 months to 4 years had a severe @entity3127 . The end result is established chronic @entity1030 . On a background of fairly severe @entity1576 there were paroxysms of breathlessness with fever, wheezes and cyanosis which were little affected by bronchodilators or @entity230 . The anatomical basis of this syndrome is before all else a @entity133 , shown at autopsy in a @entity1 dying after four months of the illness. But also there is a disorder of the large bronchi with @entity4595 and problems with ventilation centrally and/or peripherally. The major radiological signs are airways distension which is always clearly in keeping with @entity2415 and a thickening of the peri-bronchial walls which are clearly visible on tomography. Thus it appears that @entity11173 , as with other respiratory viruses, can lead to permanent sequelae in very young @entity1 . It is however possible that the respiratory sequelae may be due to associated @entity1800 , with adenovirus in particular. On the practical level, the occurrence of an early and severe @entity55 in a young @entity1 and its persistence with a @entity519 and a lowering of dynamic compliance requires a prolonged follow up and a guarded prognosis. Unfortunately the treatment of this type of chronic @entity1030 is only symptomatic.
