Official Title: Impact of the Administration of Systemic Glucocorticoids on Inflammatory Response and Clinical Evolution of Patients Diagnosed With Moderate- Severe Bronchiolitis

Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to to demonstrate that a 7-day course of systemic glucocorticoids decreases the inflammatory activity of moderate or severe bronchiolitis in paediatric patients compared to the standard treatment. To evaluate the morbidity (regarding to the clinical course: Intensive Pediatric Unit Care unit (PICU) admission, mechanical ventilation, ionotropic support, nosocomial infection, rescue therapy for respiratory failure; duration of PICU stay and hospitalization; and exitus) between the treatment and the control groups.
