Acute respiratory infection in children (ARTI) is the most common childhood infectious disease, and its pathogens include bacteria, fungi, viruses, chlamydia, mycoplasma rickettsia. In recent years, with continuous development of pathogen detection methods, diagnosis treatment acute infections has received more attention from clinicians. The clinical research laboratory methods have also been c...

chlamydia pneumoniae is a common respiratory pathogen which is often found in our paediatric populations. many patients with community-acquired pneumonia caused by c. pneumoniae have symptoms suggestive of sinusitis.the role of c. pneumonia in rhinosinusiits children (meanage =4.3 ±2.5year). this case control study was done in the pediatric and ent clinics of hazrat rasul hospital in tehran (20...

The criteria for possible SARS-CoV-2 infection focuses on evidence of pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, anosmia/change in sense taste, fever ≥37.8°C, new persistent cough and breathlessness, as outlined by Public Health England. Triage patients the hospital setting

In bronchial asthma, respiratory virus infection involves several issues: 1) respiratory virus infection in infancy is a risk factor for, and may predispose to, the development of asthma later in life; 2) respiratory virus infection is associated with the acute exacerbation of bronchial asthma; and, 3) glucocorticosteroids (GC) are not adequate for controlling asthma-related symptoms upon respi...

Background and Aims: Infectious bronchitis (IB), caused by infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), is an acute and highly contagious disease in chickens. IBV is considered mainly as a respiratory infection, other clinical manifestations, including renal, enteric and reproductive signs can be observed. Since there has been no study on evaluation of changes in biochemical parameters during IB infect...

METHODS The data of 190 critically ill cancer patients with postoperative acute respiratory insufficiency were retrospectively reviewed. The data of 321 patients with no acute respiratory insufficiency as controls were also collected. Cl...

background upper respiratory tract infections (urti) in children are the most frequent reasons for visiting a family doctor, commonly resulting in inappropriate prescription of antibiotics. in underdeveloped countries, a viral respiratory tract infection may be followed by serious complications. more than 200 viral species are associated with respiratory tract diseases in humans and this number...

BACKGROUND According to the hygiene hypothesis, infections in early life protect from allergic diseases. However, in earlier studies surrogate measures of infection rather than clinical infections were associated with decreased frequencies of atopic diseases. Exposure to infection indicating sub-clinical infection rather than clinical infection might protect from atopic diseases. OBJECTIVE to...
