| Popis: | Background: Post-infectious bronchiolitis obliterans (PBO) is a chronic lung disease characterized by the persistence of continuous obstructive respiratory symptoms following an acute and severe respiratory infection in children under 3 years old. The purpose of the present study was to investigate if adolescents and adults with diagnosis of PBO have reduced aerobic capacity and identify factors related with exercise performance. Methods: A convenience sample of 16 patients (10-23 years) that have consulted with established diagnosis of PBO in a tertiary care clinic were studied.Fourteen healthy matched subjectswere selected from the community to serve as controls. They performed resting lung function tests and cycle incremental cardiopulmonary exercise tests. Results: Peak aerobic capacity (peak VO2) was significantly lower in patients compared to controls (84 � 15 vs. 101 � 17% pred; P |
