Increases In bombesln, calcitonin, and serotonin Immunoreactive pulmonary neuroendocrine cells have been documented In Infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia. As some of the secretory products of these postulated airway chemoreceptons are known to advenselyaffect pUlmonary vasomotor and bronchomotor tone, the present study was undertaken to determine Ifsimi-lar changes occur In the lungs of older pediatric patients with chronic respiratory disease. Immunoreactive cells were Identified using the antlbody-peroxldase-antlperoxldase technique and expressed as Immunoreactive bronchloleslcm2 of lung tissue. In subjects dying an accidental or noncardlopulmonary death (control group: n= 48, zero to 24 yr of age), the totel number of bombesin, calcitonin, and serotonin Immunoreactive bronchiolesIcm2 was greatest at birth, then decreased rapidly to extremely low levels after the first year of life. In the cystic fibrosis (n= 55, 3 days to29 yr of age) and prolonged ventilation en= 24, 4 months to 18 yr of age) groups, there was a significant Increase (p< 0.035) In bombesln, calcitonin, and serotonin Immunoreactive bronchi-
