Abstract

Respiratory tract infections are infectious diseases involving the respiratory tract (such as the sinuses, throat, airways or lungs), which are the common respiratory disorders in children. With the development of society and the improvement of economic conditions, great progress has been made in China in the prevention of common respiratory pathogens in children. As a result, the incidence and mortality of respiratory tract infections in children have dropped sharply in the past decades. However, there is still a certain gap compared with the international leading levels, which can be partly attribute to insufficient public awareness of vaccination, uneven vaccination services of vaccinators, and so on. On the basis of comprehensive analysis of the clinical evidence of immunoprophylaxis of common respiratory pathogens among children in China and abroad, combined with the clinical situation and the experience of experts, the consensus focuses on the characteristics of transmission, clinical manifestations and immunoprophylaxis of common respiratory pathogens in children, so as to provide reference for clinical practice. This consensus document applies to all Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) staff levels engaged in the prevention and control of related pathogens, vaccinators at vaccination sites, and medical staff in pediatric, respiratory, and infectious diseases departments at all levels in medical institutions.
