A total of 102 children in whom foreign body aspiration was suspected were admitted to hospital and their records reviewed. Bronchoscopy was performed on all except two who coughed out the foreign body. In 76 cases (group A), foreign bodies were identified in the tracheobronchial tree. In the remaining 26 (group B), no foreign body was found. Boys predominated over girls. Most of the foreign bodies were lodged on the right side. The commonest foreign body was the peanut. Clinical and radiological features in group A were not diagnostic; in many instances, therefore, the threshold of suspicion of aspiration should be low. Hence, medical personnel and the public should be made more aware of this problem.
共有102名疑似有异物吸入的儿童入院，并对他们的病历进行了复查。除了两名咳出异物的儿童外，对其余所有儿童都进行了支气管镜检查。在76例（A组）中，在气管支气管树中发现了异物。其余26例（B组）未发现异物。男孩多于女孩。大多数异物位于右侧。最常见的异物是花生。A组的临床和放射学特征不具有诊断性；因此，在许多情况下，对吸入的怀疑阈值应该较低。因此，应该让医务人员和公众更加了解这个问题。
