Abstract
Acute bronchial asthma is a frequently encountered disorder in the pediatric practice. Children presenting with acute asthmatic attacks may vary considerably in the severity of their illness and at the same time, may have certain complications which may need additional care and treatment. These complications include atelectasis, pneumonia, mucoid impaction of the bronchi, subcutaneous emphysema and pneumomediastinum, spontaneous pneumothorax, bronchiectasis and allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis. The contribution of a chest radiograph to the evaluation of a child hospitalized for acute asthma has often been questioned, especially when the child is not severely ill.
