Abstract
Hissing respiration is common in infants. Sometimes it can be debut of bronchial asthma. The basis of treatment of such conditions typically includes bronchodilators in combination with corticosteroids. In some cases, however, hissing respiration is due to other causes (anatomic abnormalities, respiratory tract infections, gastrointestinal pathology), and in such situations, standard therapy is usually ineffective. This article discusses some of the issues of diagnostic approaches based on a recent American Thoracic Society document.
