The article aims to analyse the diagnosis of PIBO, inform readers about prediction models, and explore current therapeutic trends.The Systematic Review was conducted as per PRISMA reporting guidelines. The search was done from PUBMED, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Google Scholar for relevant recent studies till September 2023. The study was selected for those satisfying the following criteria: 1) Studies include only children with Post- Infectious Bronchiolitis Obliterans; 2) Original articles with cross-sectional, case-control, and RCT were included. The data collected includes the type of study, author, publication year, study period, study design, study country, number of participants, diagnostic criteria of Post-Infectious Bronchiolitis Obliterans, respiratory pathogens, risk factors, and current therapy trends. The first part of the study involves making the entity of Post-Infectious Bronchiolitis Obliterans well understood through the various primary studies. The second part is about medical treatment attempted successfully by multiple professionals and their studies. Studies including Haematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation, Lung Transplantation, and chronic lung disease were excluded.With this information, an attempt has been made to simplify the identification of PIBO, avoid misdiagnosis, and shed some light on the various Prediction models for PIBO and the therapies tried with some success.

Fatty liver disease is now increasingly being identified in children and adolescents. It has even gained a new call, Metabolic Dysfunction - Associated Steatotic Liver Disease. It entails the entire spectrum, from simple accumulation of fat deposits inside the liver to causing inflammation and liver damage ensuing in cirrhosis. Currently, the gold standard for diagnosis is Liver Biopsy, which is an invasive technique. Suppose Ultrasonography with Transient Elastography is included at the screening stage, along with the routine tests. In that case, the chances of missing Metabolic Dysfunction - Associated Steatotic Liver Disease will be reduced, and corrective interventions can be taken early.There are numerous studies on Transient Elastography in children with Hepatic Diseases. It is practised worldwide but has yet to become popular in India. In most cases, it is USG Abdomen, stating that the liver is enlarged and has some features. The routine practice of Transient Elastography is performed by a few radiologists and a few centres. However, if Transient Elastography can be added as a feature, many chronic cases can be identified early. Furthermore, it can be used as a routine screening tool in our adolescent populations.
