These findings may seem unexpected and contradictory with the current understanding of severe bronchiolitis as a primarily obstructive airway disease with an increase in Abbreviations: mo months old, PF ratio PaO 2 /FIO 2 ratio, OI oxygenation index, PIM 2 Pediatric index of mortality 2, RSV respiratory syncytial virus, PNB preterm newborn, HMD hyaline membrane disease a Viral Studies were negative, but pneumococcal superinfection was diagnosed expiratory resistance, but they are supported by the observation done over a half century ago by Krieger et al.
