Childhood chronic lung disease in the United Arab Emirates.

Tropical Doctor 1997 July
We report our observations on the pattern of referral of children with chronic lung disease (CLD) in Al Ain, United Arab Emirates. In a 1-year period 45 children were seen with severe lung disease from an estimated childhood population of 90,000. Bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis (CF) and congenital lung disorders were the main diagnoses made. The indigenous Arab population who represent half the total population of the district appear to be at particular risk of severe lung disease. Chest X-ray and high resolution computerized tomography (CT) were the most commonly used imaging investigations to reach a diagnosis.
