CLINICAL PRESENTATION They have signs of respiratory distress such as tachypnea (respiratory rate 60 breaths/min(, nasal flaring, grunting, and intercostal, subcostal, and/or suprasternal retractions. [slideshare.net]

Clinical treatment with antibotics was also similar between the groups (treatment 73%, control 40%, P 0.29). Figure 2 Mean (s.d.) of maximum respiratory rate during study observation period. [nature.com]

Conventional treatment involves supplemental oxygen, withholding enteral feeds and administration of intravenous fluids and antibiotics. Rarely, infants require CPAP and mechanical ventilation. [eurekaselect.com]
