Abstract
During this research a specific partial data set of the UN database was analyzed from different aspects and evaluated in order to create an image about the prevalence and probable reasons of upper respiratory tract infections among soldiers serving in the operation area.The research indicates that the prevalence of upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs), and the previously performed tonsillectomies, was the highest in one contingent. The statistical data demonstrates that the tonsillectomies may influence the frequency of upper respiratory infections within the contingent.
Highlights
The objective of the study was to process the accumulated medical database of the United Nations Peacekeeping Forces in Cyprus (UNFICYP) and make an analysis of URTIs among military troops
According to the processed statistical data, it is proven that the examined factor has a dominant role in the frequently occurred URT–infections among Hungarian soldiers
In our research the pathogens detected from microbiological samples exceeded in numbers more significantly among soldiers with a tonsillectomy than among the solders without a tonsillectomy
