Respiratory syncytial virus bronchiolitis and hypertransaminasemia.

Bronchiolitis is the most common disease of the lower respiratory tract occurring in children during their first year of life, becoming the most frequent cause of hospitalization. Although the disease can also be caused by other viruses, more than 70% of bronchiolitis cases are caused by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). RSV bronchiolitis clinically presents rhinitis, coughing, increased breathing and eating difficulties; the symptoms are usually mild, but in some cases may be so severe as to require hospitalization. Diagnosis is mainly clinical and is based on a thorough medical history and a physical examination. Therapy is substantially of support, and has the aim of ensuring alimentation/hydration and optimal oxygenation. It has been recently noted that RSV infections may cause extra-pulmonary manifestations, including liver problems, as rarely described in the literature. The aim of this paper is to present three cases of RSV bronchiolitis in children with elevated transitory transaminase levels.
