Multidetector CT with VT with a low-dose protocol had high sensitivity and specificity for depiction of tracheobronchial narrowings and/or anomalies. However, tracheal narrowing due to tracheobronchomalacia was difficult to diagnose at single-phase multidetector CT with VT.

Low-dose CT-guided TLB can be a helpful tool in investigating chronic infectious inflammatory processes in children with minimal radiation exposure. It should be considered prior to any open surgical procedure performed for biopsy alone. In our patient group no significant complication occurred. A disadvantage of the method is that it does not allow smaller airways and vessels to be assessed.

RV infection was associated with a high incidence of BAE in neonates with diarrhoea during the acute phase of disease suggesting CNS involvement.
