This session deals with recurrent infections in children. You will first briefly review important causes of chest infections in children. Most disease entities are covered in detail in other sessions.
This session will give you a more practical approach from the point of the radiologist rather than a list of causes which can easily be found by reading a book. The case study section is an important part of the session and gives you some insight into how multi-disciplinary team meetings try to analyse cases and solve problems.

- Bronchiectasis
- Chronic lung disease
- Congenital and acquired immune deficiencies
