“…The prevalence of S. pneumoniae, S. aureus and H. influenzae was more frequently [16]. In Cali, Colombia, and an urban community in Bangkok, RSV was the most frequently isolated viral pathogen cultured from NPA, while S. aureus was the most frequently isolated bacteria from blood cultures [17,18]. Among the viruses, RSV was the dominant isolate from ALRI cases in both community, and hospital-based studies conducted in the developing countries.…”

Limited information is available on the etiology of acute lower respiratory infection (ALRI) particularly pneumonia in the rural community of developing countries since most etiological studies are carried out in the hospital settings. This study examined the etiology of pneumonia among young children in a rural community of Bangladesh. A cohort of 252 newborns was followed till 24 months of age during 1993-1996. Community health workers (CHWs) identified cases of ALRI during household surveillance and recommended hospitalization. On admission, nasopharyngeal aspirates (NPA) and blood were collected for bacterial and viral identification, and chest x-rays were done. Multiple regression analysis identified factors associated with a viral etiology. Physicians diagnosed 67 pneumonia; 45% of NPA were positive for viral agents of pneumonia, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) was predominant (81%); 6 of 48 blood cultures were positive. X-ray was done for 58 cases; 52% had pneumonic consolidation. Of the RSV cases, 33% were found in children without pneumonic consolidation. Children living in a one-room house were 3 times more likely to develop viral pneumonia (odds ratio (OR) = 3.67, CI 1.05-12.83) than children living in a larger house. Counseling on avoiding crowding where a newborn is accommodated might reduce pneumonia incidence.

“…Data were available on incidence of both ARI and ALRI in 4 countries. In only one country, Uruguay, could a relation between maternal education and ARI and ALRI morbidity be found (Selwyn 1990;Cruz et al 1990;Vathanophas et al 1990). Several reasons are given by Selwyn which can explain this lack of a relation.…”

SummaryThe views of various disciplines on the role of education in improving the health and survival of young children in developing countries are discussed, as well as the factors and processes explaining this impact of education and the influence which education could have on risk factors especially relevant to acute respiratory infections (ARI) and pneumonia. This is by reviews of the available evidence on the impact of maternal education on mortality and morbidity. Since there are hardly any data dealing with the impact of education on pneumonia mortality, we focus on post-neonatal mortality, assuming that it is a suitable proxy for pneumonia mortality. Evidence is summarized on several processes or mechanisms which could explain why there is such an impact of education on ARI mortality (and morbidity) in children below 5 .

“…The BOSTID studies in the early 1980s conducted in developing countries established that viruses were important causes of pneumonia. [21][22][23][24][25][26][27] However, considerable changes in socioeconomic standards as well as nutritional status have occurred since then. Recognizing that the burden of RSV disease had not been carefully estimated in developing countries since then, the World Health Organization (WHO) sponsored studies in several developing countries following a standard WHO protocol.…”
