The most common lower repiratory tract infection in infants younger than two years is acute viral bronchiolitis that is leading cause of hospitalisation under six months of age. Little worldwide consensus exists about the best management strategies for this common disease are caring airway, maintenance of adequate hydration and oxygenation.
