In the cases studied, 7-8 functional tests were used under different clinical conditions: asymptomatic, manifested clinical form of the bronchial asthma, crisis of expiratory dyspnea in various severeness degrees. For an easy use of the method in the pediatric network, the lung functional investigation consisted only of spirographic examination (CV (vital capacity), VEMS (max. expir. ventilation per second) VEMS/CV ratio). The study has to show which of the lung functional parameters, measured on the maximum and forced spirogram, are the most useful for the best evaluation of the functional state of the asthmatic child. The VEMS value proved to be the most correct one for appreciating the presence and severeness degree of the obstructive syndrome The slight variation of the VEMS/CV ratio showed that the information given by this parameter cannot reveal enough the alteration of the lung function in child. For a better evaluation of the lung functional state in the asthmatic child, the routine spirographic examination, has to be completed with more \"sensible\" tests, such as FEF25-755 and MEF59 and with other functional parameters measured by plethysmographic examination (VGT, Raw).</p>","PeriodicalId":77318,"journal":{"name":"Pediatrie (Bucharest, Romania)","volume":"40 1-2","pages":"137-43"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"12833239","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The clinical picture, the radiological examination and the laboratory data are extensively analysed, after which the positive diagnosis, based on the correlation of anamnestic, clinical, radiological and bacteriological data, is discussed. Authors point out the contribution of the radiological examination that detects the typical lesions, the aspect of which changes characteristically very rapidly (from day to day), namely: aspect of frank pleurisy (common and very evocative), pyopneumothorax, pneumatocele, excavated staphylomas (abscesses), less frequently mediastinal pneumothorax or emphysema. The clinical differential diagnosis with a number of diseases: suppurative pneumonias, solitary pulmonary cyst, polycystic lung, infected pulmonary sequestration etc., and the radiological differential diagnosis with bilateral diffuse alveolar pulmonary opacities, excavated pulmonary opacities, images under the form of pulmonary \"bullae\" and \"cysts\" are discussed.
