Abstract
We investigated the effects of 10 mg aerosolized furosemide on clinica l score in 28 acutely wheezing infants (Part A) and in a second group of 20 intermittently wheezing babies on airway resistance and function al residual capacity during a symptomfree period (Part B), using a dou ble-blind, placebo-controlled design. In both parts of the study no th erapeutic effects were observed during and following aerosol inhalatio n of 10 mg furosemide. (C) 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
