We performed pulmonary function testing in 20 infants (11 male and 9 female; ages 3-30 months) with sickle cell disease to assess whether abnormal lung function develops early in life. Respiratory system compliance (C rs ) and resistance (R rs ) were measured by the passive occlusion technique, func
Eighty-four otherwise healthy infants with daily wheezing underwent infant pulmonary function tests (IPFTs) and 24-h esophageal pH probe studies. Fifty-four (64%) infants had positive pH probe studies, and 30 infants had negative pH probe studies. Many infants in both groups had evidence of periphe
