“…Pediatric APT, which are characterized by inflammation of the posterior pharynx and tonsils, are the most common and frequently-occurring respiratory diseases in children, especially in early school-aged children [ 1 , 2 ]. The main clinical manifestations are sore throat, fever, cough, sputum, and difficulty swallowing.…”

“…The disease progresses rapidly and may cause acute edema of the throat, leading to dysphagia, dyspnea, and even suffocation. The quality of life of the children is seriously jeopardized, and if not treated in time, it is likely to endanger the children's lives [ 2 ]. Infection with pathogenic microorganisms is the main factor for pediatric APT [ [3] , [4] , [5] ].…”

“…Faringoamigdalitis aguda es un proceso febril agudo que presenta inflamación de la mucosa del área faringoamigdalina presentando eritema, edema, exudado, ulceras o vesículas (Bayona & Niederbache, 2015), dentro de los agentes etiológicos el 50-80 % principalmente causada por virus respiratorios tales como adenovirus rinovirus, VSR y en <5-20 % por Streptococcus Betahemolítico del grupo C y G (Pávez et al, 2019;Tanz, 2020). También puede verse odinofagia, sequedad de garganta, malestar general, fiebre y escalofríos, disfagia e hipertrofia de ganglios linfáticos cervicales (Wetmore, 2020).…”

Las infecciones respiratorias agudas (IRA) son un conjunto de afecciones del sistema respiratorio; los más vulnerables son niños menores de 5 años. Los agentes etiológicos que con mayor frecuencia se asocian son los virus. La OMS durante el 2020 declaró el COVID-19 como una pandemia a nivel global, afectando también a la población pediátrica. El objetivo del artículo es identificar el impacto de estas enfermedades con relación a la situación actual por el COVID-19. Se realizó un estudio de tipo descriptivo donde se llevó a cabo una revisión manual de expedientes relacionados a enfermedades respiratorias de un centro asistencial de primer nivel, donde la población tenía un rango de edad de 1 mes a menor de 5 años, correspondientes al periodo del 1 de enero de 2020 al 30 de septiembre de 2021. Se evaluaron 288 expedientes, durante el estudio se pudo determinar el impacto de las infecciones respiratorias agudas a través de la elaboración de corredores endémicos y su interpretación; las enfermedades respiratorias se presentaron en diferentes formas clínicas siendo el catarro común y la bronquiolitis los más diagnosticados, con un 45 % y 36 % respectivamente. La implementación de medidas de bioseguridad y su promoción influye en la disminución de la propagación y duración de estas enfermedades, las manifestaciones clínicas del COVID-19 y la similitud que comparte con la de las enfermedades respiratorias agudas genera confusión al momento de hacer un diagnóstico adecuado, la inmadurez del sistema inmune contribuye a las infecciones a repetición, siendo los virus la principal causa.

Context In pediatrics, there is an increasing interest in the therapeutic efficacy of inhaled bacteriophages for treating infectious diseases of the upper respiratory tract in children. Aim To analyze the effectiveness of inhaled bacteriophage therapy in children with acute tonsillitis (AT). Settings and Design Clinical observation of patients was based on a randomized, controlled research method. Methods and Material A total of 212 sick children aged 4–15 years who had AT were examined. Bacteriophage therapy was carried out by nebulizer inhalation using the liquid polyvalent piobacteriophage. Patients were divided into two groups based on the treatment method. One group of patients received a course of bacteriophage therapy against the background of standard treatment. Results When patients sought medical help, during the general clinical examination, the following were noted: cervical lymphadenopathy (98.6%), hyperemia of the tonsils and hyperplasia (98.1%), against the background of hyperthermia. Bacteriological analysis of the pharynx mucus showed that the main causative agents of AT in children were the bacteria Streptococcus pyogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Haemophilus influenzae. Patients who underwent inhaled bacteriophage therapy in the early stages of treatment experienced a 1.4-fold greater disappearance of objective signs of pathological processes in the tonsils against the backdrop of rapid improvement in the well-being of sick children. Moreover, the use of a combination of antibiotic therapy and bacteriophage therapy led to a decrease in the detection of pathogenic bacteria, and the effectiveness of drug treatment increased four times. Conclusion The use of bacteriophage therapy in the complex treatment of AT in children contributes to a more rapid relief of the acute period against the background of an improvement in the subjective assessment of well-being by up to 25%, and a decrease in the detection of pathogenic bacteria.
