Comparison of lower airway sampling strategies in children with protracted bacterial bronchitis
This study looks at easier ways to test for chest infections in children with protracted bacterial bronchitis (PBB). Currently, finding the exact germ requires a camera test under general anaesthetic. Researchers want to see if simple cough swabs or breathing in a salty mist can give the same helpful answers.
