The most prevalent virus was respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) present in 49 (32%) of the total viral isolates. This was followed by parainfluenza virus present in 43(28%) of the isolates.[bps.uonbi.ac.ke]
Therefore, we applied three different laboratory methods, and presented the different virus prevalence patterns detected by each method.[bmcinfectdis.biomedcentral.com]
Interestingly, all but 1 of 15 LRTI patients presenting a positive bacteriology also showed serological signs of acute viral infection.[karger.com]
The usual presentation of viral respiratory tract infections (VRTI) includes fever, malaise, wheezing and or coughing, rhinorrhea and loss of appetite. Up to 50% of children will have at least one viral-induced wheezing illness by school age.[clinicaltrials.gov]

If laryngitis develops (larynx voice box itis inflammation), the patient may lose their voice or become hoarse. It is often difficult to know the difference between an acute upper respiratory infection and influenza (seasonal flu ).[emedicinehealth.com]
Often preceded by coryzal symptoms, followed by fever, hoarseness, cough and signs of upper airway obstruction, namely stridor. This condition may be life threatening in young children.[virology.uct.ac.za]

It starts suddenly, with a high temperature, a sore throat or a drycough, as well as sore muscles and joints, and back pain or a headache. The person suffering from the infection often feels weak.[montavit.com]
A cough medicine may help to soothe a ticklish or drycough. Over-the-counter (OTC) products that are available from your local pharmacist are often sold as combined remedies for treating a cough and cold.[hse.ie]
The fact that viral infections are difficult to treat should not lead to neglecting the diagnosis. Viral LRTI in early infancy was indicated to induce a predisposition to develop wheezing and asthma [ 17 ].[karger.com]

Eight CAP patients presented positive bloodcultures. Positive bacterial culture in respiratory specimens was found in 12 COPD patients with exacerbation, in 11 CAP patients and in 1 patient with acute bronchitis.[karger.com]
According to our previous study, there was a high rate of antibiotic usage before hospitalisation and thus bloodculture-positive rates were very low ( 30 ]. Therefore, we did not conduct blood culture testing in this study.[erj.ersjournals.com]
Currently treatment of VRTI is essentially supportive and no specific and efficient treatments are known.[clinicaltrials.gov]
Surfactant and small interfering RNAs may be promising treatment options in the future. Prospective studies however are needed to demonstrate their effect.[nvic.nl]

This would help in patient management, treatment and prevention of virus spreading. We are aware that the available diagnostic tools for point of care diagnosis are not optimal and we are also aware that virus therapy has to be further improved.[karger.com]
TreatmentsTreatmentsTreatment for lung infections depends on how severe the illness is and whether the infection is bacterial, viral or fungal. Most bacterial infections are treated with a full course of prescribed antibiotics.[rileychildrens.org]
Rhinosinusitis The prognosis is generally favorable for acute rhinosinusitis, and many cases appear to resolve even without antibiotic therapy.[emedicine.medscape.com]
Complications and prognosis Complete resolution after treatment should be expected in the vast majority of cases.[patient.info]
Upper Respiratory Infection Prognosis (Outlook) Upper respiratory infections are a common occurrence and most people will get two to four colds per year.[emedicinehealth.com]
It is recommended that future surveys of the microbial etiology of pneumonia that employ a credible reference standard (such as lung aspiration) be used as opportunities to perform studies of diagnostic accuracy.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Developmental aspects of respiratory anatomy and mechanics are of great importance in the pathophysiology of LRTI and explain why children with the condition are more susceptible to respiratory insufficiency compared to adults.[nvic.nl]
Epidemiology Has incidence of 1-3/1000 and, of those admitted to hospital the mortality is 10% Pathophysiology Basically, viruses or bacteria gets into your lower respiratory tract and you get an infection. Go figure.[medrevise.co.uk]
Pathophysiology There is no hard and fast definition of LRTI that is universally agreed upon. Essentially, it is inflammation of the airways/pulmonary tissue, due to viral or bacterial infection, below the level of the larynx.[patient.info]
Our findings could serve as robust evidence for public health authorities for drawing up further plans to prevent and control of respiratory virus associated ALRIs.[journals.plos.org]
