Between may 1984 and november 1986, a study, which included 475 children under five years of age hospitalized due to acute intrathoracic respiratory infections, was carried out in order to obtain clinical, radiological and etiological characteristics which may aid in establishing norms to diagnose and treat these patients. Nasopharyngeal aspirations were performed on each child, while viral diagnosis was done through viral isolation techniques and indirect immunofluorescence. The presence of a virus was detected in 34.4% of the cases and in 28.8% of a subsample. A precoded questionnaire was used to obtain the clinical information needed and all X-rays were reviewed by the same radiologist using simple pre-established criteria. A comparison was made on the similarities found between both the clinical and radiological diagnosis, as well as the sensitivity and specificity of some of the clinical signs which characterize bronchiolitis and the pneumoniae.
1984年5月至1986年11月期间，开展了一项研究，纳入了475名因急性胸内呼吸道感染住院的五岁以下儿童，目的是获取有助于制定这些患者诊断和治疗规范的临床、放射学和病因学特征。对每个儿童进行了鼻咽抽吸，同时通过病毒分离技术和间接免疫荧光进行病毒诊断。在34.4%的病例和28.8%的子样本中检测到病毒。使用预先编码的问卷获取所需的临床信息，所有X光片均由同一位放射科医生使用简单的既定标准进行复查。对临床诊断与放射学诊断之间的相似性，以及一些表征细支气管炎和肺炎的临床体征的敏感性和特异性进行了比较。
