Chronic, nonspecific, that is, nontuberculous, infections of the lungs and bronchi are far more common in early life than is generally appreciated. Physicians are likely to forget that there are such conditions and to think, therefore, that all chronic pulmonary conditions in infancy and childhood are tuberculous in origin. If these nontuberculous conditions are kept in mind and due attention is paid to the history of their development, their symptomatology and their physical signs, it is usually easy to distinguish them from those due to tuberculosis. CHRONIC BRONCHITIS Chronic bronchitis may be one of the results of chronic lesions of the cardiac orifices. It may also be a complication of bronchiectasis and chronic interstitial pneumonia and, occasionally, of pulmonary tuberculosis. In most instances, however, it is the result of repeated attacks of acute bronchitis. It is especially likely to develop in debilitated and malnourished children who live in unhygienic surroundings.
