Abstract

Acute respiratory infection in children (ARTI) is the most common childhood infectious disease, and its pathogens include bacteria, fungi, viruses, chlamydia, mycoplasma and rickettsia. In recent years, with the continuous development of pathogen detection methods, the diagnosis and treatment of acute respiratory infections has received more and more attention from clinicians. The clinical diagnosis and treatment of acute respiratory infections in children and the research of laboratory detection methods have also been continuously developed. The manuscript presents a review of progress in the clinical diagnosis, treatment and laboratory testing of acute respiratory infections in children by collecting references.

Highlights

  • Acute respiratory tract infection in children is often referred to as the common cold in children

  • Even the mucinous and purulent secretions may not indicate bacterial infection; severe coughing is rare, it can last for about 2 weeks; the appearance of purulent secretions or the occurrence of severe symptoms of lower respiratory tract infection may indicate that the closed eye virus is combined with or secondary to pathogenic bacteria infection

Summary

Introduction

Acute respiratory tract infection in children is often referred to as the common cold in children. It is the most common acute upper respiratory tract infection caused by viral infections, most of which are self-limiting; and the incidence is relatively high, the number of patients is large, prone to multiple complications, and the economic burden is heavy [1] [2]. Common complications are mainly manifested as otitis media, si-
