Chronic eosinophilic pneumonia in a one-year-old child.

Although the literature well describes chronic eosinophilic pneumonia in the adult, there are no reports of this entity in the pediatric age group. We describe a child with chronic eosinophilic pneumonia, emphasizing the specific radiologic features, common conditions in the differential diagnosis, and dramatic response in corticosteroid administration, which is a unique feature of this entity.

Cromolyn sodium in the treatment of children with asthma.

We have reported our experience with cromolyn sodium in the management of fifteen children with chronic, intractable asthma. The overall improvement in 80% of children is in accordance with some of the studies reported in the literature. The most significant effect of the drug was in either reducing the dose of steroid needed for management or eliminating its requirement by the patient.

The use of intravenous isoproterenol in the treatment of status asthmaticus.

The use of intravenous isoproterenol in nineteen children with status asthmaticus who did not respond to standard anti-asthmatic therapy is reported. Six of the fourteen patients who responded favorably had normal blood gases within six hours ten within twelve hours and twelve within eighteen hours; all fourteen of the patients who responded favorably had normal blood gases within twenty-two hours after the drug was begun. Clinically, eleven of the fourteen patients who responded favorably showed improvement in respiratory distress within twelve hours of the institution of therapy. All patients who responded favorably showed some improvement within twenty-eight hours of treatment. There were five treatment failures; two were due to cardiovascular toxicity of isoproterenol, and three to progression in symptomatology that necessitated continuous ventilation with respirators.
