[Lung function findings in workers in the rubber industry].

Chronic obstructive lung disease is common in workers in the rubber industry. Because of the close relation between hyperreactivity of the airways (HR) and the annual decline in FEV1 we measured HR in 89 healthy workers of a big rubber plant. Three groups were formed (control, latex production, rubber production). The prevalence of HR was that of a healthy general population (PC 20 FEV1 less than 0.2% Methacholin in 3 cases). In the lower Methacholin range a separation between all groups was possible.

Therapeutic strategy in a 9-month-old child with pulmonary sling: need for bronchoscopic evaluation.

A 9-month-old child presented suffering from repeated severe infections of the lower respiratory tract. Bronchoscopy revealed a tracheal stenosis, suggestive of a vascular anomaly of the great arteries. A second significant stenosis of the left main stem bronchus was observed that was suspected to be due to a ligamentum arteriosum. Heart catheterization confirmed the diagnosis of an abnormal origin of the left pulmonary artery (pulmonary sling). Based on the bronchoscopic and angiographic findings a pulmonary ring was suspected. A dissection of the ligamentum arteriosum was performed. At readmission 4 weeks postoperatively the child was asymptomatic and the left main bronchus was patent.

[Respiratory symptoms in children with low birth weight with or without perinatal respiratory insufficiency].

We recorded prevalence of respiratory symptoms in 104 school children aged eight years (+/- 0.4 years) who were born with a weight below 2500 grams. Perinatal respiratory insufficiency (PRI) was observed in 18 children. Validation by medical records in 14 cases demonstrated that 7 children had been oxygen dependent over 1-5 days after birth, the other 7 children had required mechanical ventilation from 2 days up to 4 month. Children with a history of PRI did not suffer more frequently from "cough after exercise" (17%), "wheezing" (50%) or "frequent cough" (11%) than healthy children of low birthweight. Corresponding values were 26%, 38%, and 18% respectively. Multiple logistic regression analyses confirmed these observations. In children with a low birthweight PRI is not associated with respiratory symptoms at school age.
