The Wheezing Infant

Philip Fireman MD1
 1 Professor of Pediatrics, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, and Director, Allergy and Immunology, Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA 15213

Wheezing is common in infancy and may represent either a minor or a serious, life-threatening illness. The differential diagnosis is extensive and may include organ systems other than the respiratory tract. Therefore, a careful and thorough approach to solving the problem is required. A systematic history, physical examination, and judicious choice of laboratory studies will enable the clinician to define the cause of the wheezing. Because the wheezing may represent a progressive respiratory problem, early diagnosis and treatment may prevent additional respiratory pathology and sequelae.
