[Organisation of bronchitis dispensaries-problems and present situation in the north-eastern region of the GDR (a pilot study of the bronchitis dispensary of the Pediatric Clinic, University of Greifswald) (author's transl)].

The dator on the care of children with CNSLD obtained from pediatricians working at out-patient departments in 15 districts of the Rostock and Neubrandenburg counties (in the north-eastern region of the GDR) are analyzed in a pilot study. This survey shows that there are 6 standard bronchitis dispensaries and on additional dispensary with highly specialized diagnostic equipment (Pediatric Clinic of the University of Greifswald) in 7 of the districts. In the remaining districts care of these children is provided within the framework of general medical outpatient care. 2% of the children having CNSLD only 36% receive medical treatment, which is a rather low percentage. This situation will be improved on the basis of better cooperation with the family doctors and the out-patient departments for lung diseases.
