Abstract

Extract We thank Z.A. Naqvi and co-workers for their supportive and insightful comments on our study [1]. We fully agree that severe respiratory syncytial virus bronchiolitis requiring mechanical ventilation can have lasting respiratory consequences and that structured follow-up is essential. We also share the view that this need may extend beyond respiratory syncytial virus to other severe respiratory infections, and possibly to more children mechanically ventilated for more than 48 h.
