Updates on glutathione and capillary bronchitis / 国际儿科学杂志

ABSTRACT

Capillary bronchitis is a common respiratory infectious disease. In the early childhood,it is mainly caused by respiratory syncytial virus,which is closely related with later asthma. The pathogenesis is still not entirely clear. Recent studies have found that glutathione functions in keeping airway epithelial integrity,a-gainst lung injury and inflammation. This article summarizes the protective effect of glutathione in capillary bron-chitis.
