Antigen exposure also elicits production of IgGs in other pulmonary diseases, such as invasive aspergillosis (5, 6), allergic
bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) [3] (7), and ABPA in cystic fibrosis (8).
Mercy is an 8-month-old ex-26 week premature infant, seen for in a

bronchopulmonary dysplasia, sleep-disordered breathing in children, asthma, cystic fibrosis, primary ciliary dyskinesia, pulmonary complications of immunologic disorders, pneumona and bacterial pulmonary infections, tuberculosis, interstitial lung diseases, pulmonary complications of neuromuscular disease, respiratory failure in children, and viral infections of the respiratory tract.

bronchopulmonary dysplasia (1), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (2), and mycocarditis (3).

This book focuses on the care of children who would have died decades ago, but who are now surviving, including children with conditions such as
bronchopulmonary dysplasia, learning disabilities, myelodysplasia, organ transplants, and chronic renal failure.
While RSV usually causes little more than a cold in healthy children, it can produce pneumonia and bronchiolitis in at-risk babies, such as premature infants and those who suffer from
bronchopulmonary dysplasia (a chronic lung condition that requires supplemental oxygen).
This may subsequently expose elderly subjects to a greater risk of aspiration or
bronchopulmonary infection even when there is no clinical evidence of respiratory disease.
