Acute fibrinous bronchitis

Acute fibrinous bronchitis is an acute inflammation of the bronchi, accompanied by the formation of fibrinous films on the bronchial mucosa.

Causes

Acute fibrinous bronchitis is most often caused by viruses, such as influenza viruses, parainfluenza viruses, and RS viruses. Bacteria (Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, Haemophilus influenzae) can also be causes. Risk factors include weakened immunity, chronic lung diseases, and smoking.

1. Bed rest during the acute period
2. Drink plenty of warm drinks
3. Inhalations with mucolytics
4. Antibiotics if the cause is a bacterial infection
5. Antipyretic drugs

Possible complications

If treated incorrectly, pneumonia and lung abscess may develop.

Prevention
