Chronic obliterating bronchiolitis in children is characterized by the presence of chronic multifactor inflammatory infectious process with Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae being the leading causative agents. The inflammatory process is induced and maintained by S. pneumoniae and H. influenzae or by the association of these two pathogens, but the severity of the clinical course of obliterating bronchiolitis is determined by H. influenzae, which is confirmed by its high detection rate at the phase of exacerbation in patients with pronounced bronchial obstruction.
