Abstract
Oxygen therapy (OT) is considered an essential proccss for survival for the infants with bronchiolitis However, it may reach the status of being harmful when using it for along bcriod . We , here, attempted to shed a light on relations between oxygen therapy duration(OTD) and each of serum malondialdehvde (MDA) that is used as index for free radical generation , and serum albumin level, in infants with bronchiolitis . Our results confirmed that (OTD) from (1-48) hr. was non effective , while from 49 was very effective where a grave in crease in serum (MDA)level and a decrease in serum albumin concentration were observed during that time . The relation between age and serum albumin level proved that (OTD)plays an important role as a pathogenitic factor in infants aged (l-3)months
