Evaluation of Lung Ultrasonography Findings in Newborns With Respiratory Syncytial Virus Bronchiolitis

Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is a seasonal, highly contagious pathogen belonging to the Pneumoviridae (genus orthopneumovirus), a family of negative-strand RNA viruses. Lung ultrasonography; Today, it has become frequently used in neonatal intensive care units because it is a diagnostic, useful, harmless, radiation-free, bedside, reproducible and practical method. The primary purpose of the study is to record lung ultrasound findings and score and thus to compare the agreement between lung ultrasonography and clinical score in the diagnosis and follow-up of newborn babies who are followed up in the neonatal intensive care unit due to bronchiolitis caused by RSV and other viral factors, which are frequently encountered.
