Why is it important?
This work is a primer for the diagnostic workup and differential diagnosis for clinicians and pathologists alike who do not see newborns and children with respiratory symptoms on a regular basis.
Perspectives
This manuscript is the result of a long interdisciplinary collaboration regarding the diagnosis and treatment of babies and young children suffering from respiratory symptoms. I think it will be a helpful guidance for clinicians and morphologists alike.
