Abstract/OtherAbstract:

Airway infections in children is a considerably broad topic. This discussion focuses on several common nonbacterial causes of lower respiratory tract infection in children, including respiratory syncytial virus, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, and Chlamydia pneumoniae. In addition, the occurrence of two important bacterial causes of lower respiratory illness (Bordetella pertussis and Mycobacterium tuberculosis) is increasing. This review focuses on current information on the prophylaxis, treatment, and diagnosis of these agents. Finally, consideration is given to infections in immunocompromised children: the effects of respiratory syncytial virus infections in immunosuppressed transplant patients, and prevention and diagnosis of opportunistic infections (including Pneumocystis carinii) in children with human immunodeficiency virus. |
