The clinical records of children who had fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FB) for a history of RLAI without any known underlying disorder between 2007 and 2013 and of control children who required FB for other causes were reviewed.

We report bronchoscopic abnormalities observed in children with chronic cough and in children undergoing fiberoptic bronchoscopy for causes other than chronic cough. Methods and findings: Retrospective case-control cohort study. The clinical records of children who had fiberoptic bronchoscopy for a history of chronic ...
