“…From a total of 288 samples analyzed from children under 5 years old with a probable diagnosis of Pertussis, the most common pathogen isolated was ADV in 49% of samples, followed by B. pertussis in 41% from our previous analysis. Although this study was conducted in patients with ARI with a highly suspicious pertussis diagnosis, other studies on children with ARI have identified ADV as one of the most prevalent etiologies [2] Although, the viral and bacterial prevalence may vary widely depending on the population characteristics [8,33,34].…”

BackgroundAcute respiratory infections (ARIs) represent an important cause of morbidity and mortality in children, remaining a major public health concern, especially affecting children under 5 years old from low-income countries. Unfortunately, information regarding their epidemiology is still limited in Peru.MethodsA secondary data analysis was performed from a previous cross-sectional study conducted in children with a probable diagnosis of Pertussis from January 2010 to July 2012. All samples were analyzed via Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) for the following etiologies: Influenza-A, Influenza-B, RSV-A, RSV-B, Adenovirus, Parainfluenza 1 virus, Parainfluenza 2 virus, Parainfluenza 3 virus, Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Chlamydia pneumoniae.ResultsA total of 288 patients were included. The most common pathogen isolated was Adenovirus (49%), followed by Bordetella pertussis (41%) from our previous investigation, the most prevelant microorganisms were Mycoplasma pneumonia (26%) and Influenza-B (19.8%). Coinfections were reported in 58% of samples and the most common association was found between B. pertussis and Adenovirus (12.2%).ConclusionsThere was a high prevalence of Adenovirus, Mycoplasma pneumoniae and other etiologies in patients with a probable diagnosis of pertussis. Despite the presence of persistent cough lasting at least two weeks and other clinical characteristics highly suspicious of pertussis, secondary etiologies should be considered in children under 5 years-old in order to give a proper treatment.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1186/s12879-019-3671-6) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…BALB/c female mice were placed in six chambers (six mice each) with air temperature of 24 ± 3 C, humidity of 60 ± 4%, and a 12-hours light/dark cycle, but with the subsequent light onset staggered by 4 hours between cameras. Thus the study at one outer test time followed in six test times (2,6,10,14,18, and 22 hours after light onset). Rectal temperature was measured at baseline and 1 hour after oral treatment with placebo or two doses of homeopathic aconite (6C and 30C) in six experimental regimens.…”

Background. Acute respiratory viral infection (ARVI) is accompanied by a general intoxication syndrome and respiratory mucosa predominant damage. A significant number of viral nature pathogens from various nosological groups (influenza viruses, parainfluenza, adenoviruses, respiratory syncytial viruses, coronaviruses, picornaviruses, rhinoviruses, enteroviruses, herpesviruses, etc.) could cause development of ARVI at human respiratory tract. Methods of ethnoscience and non-traditional medicine can be used as part of integrated treatment and prevention of influenza and ARVI. With the help of anti-cold homeopathic remedies, people can be treated from the very beginning of the disease when an elevated temperature is observed and there are all signs of intoxication and inflammation. Objective. Scientific justification for the safety and efficacy of a complex homeopathic formulation in tablet form (Aconitum napellus D6, Ammonium bromatum D4, Atropa belladonna D6, Bryonia D6, Cinchona pubescens D6, Echinacea D3, Hydrargyrum bicyanatum D8, Rhustoxicodendron D6) intended to enhance the natural immunity in influenza and respiratory diseases, to normalize the functional state of the immune system and upper respiratory tract. Results. Most patients have acute febrile respiratory syndrome, and some population groups have an increased risk of complications in the form of severe illness or death. These groups include elderly people, very young people, and people with concomitant illnesses. Annually, every third inhabitant of the planet suffers from acute respiratory infections. We have conducted a scientific substantiation of the safety and efficacy of a complex homeopathic tablet formulation (Aconitum napellus D6, Ammonium bromatum D4, Atropa belladonna D6, Bryonia D6, Cinchona pubescens D6, Echinacea D3, Hydrargyrum bicyanatum D8, Rhustoxicodendron D6), which can be used to treat and prevention of these diseases. Conclusions. Components of developed homeopathic preparation are used in medical practice as anti-cold and immunomodulating mono-and complex homeopathic preparations for more than 100 years. There are no restrictions on the use of the drug in the context of its safety profile, since the active ingredient concentrations used are completely non-toxic. The preparation enhances the body's protective responses and promotes the relief of symptoms of acute respiratory infections and flu (headache, sneezing, runny nose, sore throat, body aches, fever) and rapid recovery.

“…Acute Respiratory Tract Infection (ARI) is an infection that attacks the throat, nose, and lungs which occurs around fourteen days (Kemenkes RI, 2012) and becomes the main cause of death, especially in children around the world (Fillatre et al, 2018). Around 18-33% of the death of children under five years is estimated to be caused by ARI (Khan & Islam, 2017).…”

Introduction: Acute respiratory tract infections (ARI) is a disease that is the primary cause of death, especially in children. Toddlers can be prevented from developing ARI with increased immunity. Giving breast milk can increase children's immunity, but there are still children who experience ARI. This study aimed to explain the differences in Acute Respiratory Tract Infections (ARI) events in toddlers who are exclusively and non-exclusively breastfed.Methods: The research design used was descriptive-comparative with a retrospective design. The population in this study were all children one to three years of age. A sample of 158 toddlers was recruited by a purposive sampling technique. Data retrieval was done with the criteria that the child had visited a public health centre (puskesmas) or integrated health care service post (posyandu), and does not suffer from a disease such as asthma or have any allergies. The variables were measured using a questionnaire and observation sheet. Data analysis was done by a chi-square test and binary logistic regression.Results: The results showed that there were differences in ARI incidence in toddlers (one to three years) who were exclusively and non-exclusively breastfed with a value of p = 0.003. The air pollution factor proved to be significant, dominantly affecting the incidence of ARI.Conclusion: Differences in ARI incidence in toddlers who are exclusively and non-exclusively breastfed is possible due to air pollution factors. Key implications for nursing practice from this research are improving services, and prevent the occurrence of ARI.
