Overview
Bronchiolitis has different range of risk factors and it can be differentiated based on the age. In adult, common risk factors in the development of bronchiolitis include exposure to cigarette smoke, living in crowded areas and immunocompromised patients. In infants, the risk factors include age < 6 months, lack of breast-feeding, prematurity, and young children with congenital heart diseases.[1][2]
Risk Factors
Common risk factors in infants and children
The following infants and children cases are at higher risk to be infected with bronchiolitis:[1][2][3]
- Premature infants as the maternal transfer of immunoglobulins occur in the last trimester.
- Young children infected with congenital heart diseases are at high risk due to decreased cardiac output.[4] These diseases include:
- Lack of breast-feeding.
- Children and infants infected by chronic lung disease.
- Immunocompromised children due to a medical condition or medical treatment.
Common risk factors in adult
- Exposure to cigarette smoke.
- Living in crowded conditions.
- Immunocompromised adult patients.
- Older adults, especially those with underlying heart or lung disease.
