RESULTS: the Impaired gas exchange diagnosis was present in 42.6% of the children in the first assessment. Hypoxemia was the characteristic that presented the best measures of accuracy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  It is characterized by sudden onset of high fever, myalgia, headache and severe malaise, non-productive cough, sore throat, and rhinitis. [schoolsandhealth.org]

  They are not effective in treating nasal congestion, sinus pressure, sore throat, headache, or malaise from infections. [studenthealth.ucsf.edu]

  These symptoms include a runny nose or stuffy nose, sore throat, fever, headache, cough, malaise, or vague feeling of illness, muscle aches, loss of appetite, and ear pain. [mpkb.org]

  Symptoms commonly include fever, shivering, chills, malaise, dry cough, loss of appetite, body aches, and nausea, typically in connection with a sudden onset of illness. [en.wikipedia.org]

  Influenza : initially presents with systemic symptoms, including fever, rigors, headaches, myalgia, malaise and anorexia. [patient.info]

• Dry Cough

  Symptoms commonly include fever, shivering, chills, malaise, dry cough, loss of appetite, body aches, and nausea, typically in connection with a sudden onset of illness. [en.wikipedia.org]

  The most common symptoms of uncomplicated influenza are an abrupt onset of fever, shivering, headache, muscle ache and a dry cough. Cough is often severe and protracted, but other manifestations are usually self-limited with recovery in 2-7 days. [web.archive.org]

  All symptoms are generally gone within ten days, except for a dry cough that may linger for up to three weeks. Colds make people more susceptible to bacterial infections such as strep throat, middle ear infections, and sinus infections. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

  Upper respiratory infections in the lower part of the upper respiratory tract, such as, laryngotracheitis, are more commonly featured with dry cough and hoarseness or loss of voice. [medicinenet.com]

• Difficulty Vocalizing

  Changes in respiratory rate, wide-eyed, diminished breath sounds, and difficulty vocalizing presented high positive predictive values. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Exudative Pharyngitis

We found that the mean annual ARI episode rate among GERD patients reduced by 11.4%, from 4.39 before PPI treatment, to 3.89 following treatment (mean change -0.5 visit, 95% confidence interval (CI) (-0.64, -0.36)). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Lung function tests have shown to be useful as diagnostic tools and for prognosis purposes. Pulse oximetry, also known as pulse ox, may be used to check how much oxygen gets into the lungs. [vikaspedia.in]

Rhinosinusitis The prognosis is generally favorable for acute rhinosinusitis, and many cases appear to resolve even without antibiotic therapy. [emedicine.medscape.com]

This improved prognosis seems to be mainly attributed to the preventive effects of VDRA against death due to cardiovascular disease, and a few reports have indicated its benefits in preventing death from infections ( 17, 19, 21 ). [cjasn.asnjournals.org]

The viral etiology, as well as the presence of multiple viral infections, was determined. A structured questionnaire was used to obtain demographic and clinical information. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

For this analysis, SEF is the proportion of SARI cases that might theoretically be eliminated if the etiology were eliminated (assuming a primary role for that etiologic pathogen in causing pneumonia). [bmcinfectdis.biomedcentral.com]

Demographic and epidemiologic data were obtained from enrolled patients after which nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal swabs were collected, and processed by molecular methods for the presence of influenza viruses. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Cause [ edit ] In terms of pathophysiology, rhinovirus infection resembles the immune response. The viruses do not cause damage to the cells of the upper respiratory tract, but rather cause changes in the tight junctions of epithelial cells. [en.wikipedia.org]
