A member asked:
Bronchiole infection and bronchitis. what are differences?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Size of airways...: Clinically, there is no difference. That is, the same signs and symptoms would be present. The difference is in the size of the affected airways; the bronchioles are smaller and are located distally from the larger bronchi.
