DISEASE CONDITION
INTRODUCTION:
Infection is still one of the leading causes of neonatal death in the developing countries.
The neonates are more susceptible to infection as they are deficient in natural immunity
and acquired immunity. Neonates that survive from sepsis often suffer from severe
neurological as well as severe parenchymal lung disease.
DEFINITION:
It is a inflammatory disease characterized by inflammation of bronchiole causing severe
dyspnea.
2. BASE:-The base is concave and rests on thoracic surface of the diaphragm which is
lined by diaphragmatic pleura.
3. MEDICAL SURFACE: - The medial surface is directly related to mediastinal pleura
extending like a partition from anterior to posterior between the mediastinal pleura of the
two sides, great vessels, trachea, esophagus, thoracic duct and nerves are present.
4. COSTAL SURFACE: - The costal surface is related to ribs and intercostals muscles.
The thoracic wall is lined inside by costal pleura.
BRONCHIOLES
It do not have any cartilage in their wall instead their wall contains smooth muscles. The
epithelial lining of wider tubes is pseudostratfied ciliated columnar which is gradually
replaced by cuboidal epithelium.Exchange of gases started at respiratory bronchioles

PROGNOSIS-
Patient with dyspnea, cough and fever was admitted in hospital. Then
nebulization was given and then suction was done to clear the airway. After
antibiotic administration the infection was controlled. Patient was also given anti-
seizure medication to prevent seizure.
