Brief description Acute bronchiolitis remains one of the most common serious lower respiratory tract infections. Children can be treated effectively at home; however many require hospitalisation and current treatment is essentially supportive with oxygen and fluid therapy. In Indigenous settings where high colonisation of bacteria and burden of respiratory disease exist, antibiotics such as azithromcyin may provide clinical improvement in the short term outcomes for those children hospitalised with bronchiolitis.
