Influence of different respiratory infections on pulmonary function in children

Abstract

Respiratory tract infection is the first cause of hospitalization and death in children.How to make a definite diagnosis, early determination of the severity and targeted treatment is the key to the recovery of children.Pulmonary function can accurately evaluate the respiratory physiology and pathology of patients, and play a very important role in differential diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of the disease.At the same time, as a non-invasive, non-radiological examination, it is easy for parents to accept.It also provides the possibility for long-term clinical follow-up and research on respiratory diseases.Although the practical value is high, as a relatively new technology in children, especially in infants with respiratory infections, at present, doctors are not familiar with its application yet.Therefore, this article gives a new perspective to interpret the relationship between childhood respiratory infectious diseases and children′s lung function, from the introduction of common lung function, and then to pathophysiology of the common respiratory infections, and on the basis of this to further elaborate the relationship between different infections and lung function parameters Key words: Child; Respiratory infection; Pulmonary function
