 Varied agents – Bacteria and viruses
 Clinical picture may vary with etiological agent
 May be present in normal people but may cause
disease in only few.
Epidemiology

Infections of the respiratory tract are described in a number of
different ways according to the general areas of involvement
in the more common infections. The upper respiratory tract or
upper airway consists of primarily of the nose and pharynx.
The lower respiratory tract consists of bronchi and
bronchioles, which constitute the reactive protein of the
airway because of their smooth muscle content and ability to
constrict the alveoli.
ACUTE RESPIRATORY
INFECTIONS
 May cause the inflammation of respiratory tract
anywhere from nose to alveoli.
 May be classified as –
AURI – Acute Upper Respiratory Infection
(common cold, pharyngitis, epiglottitis, & otitis media etc.)
or
ALRI – Acute Lower Respiratory Infection
(laryngitis, layngotracheitis, bronchitis, bronchiolitis & pneumonia)

AGENT FACTORS

Factors Affecting Type of
Illness and Physical Response
in Acute Respiratory
Infections:
Nature of infectious agent: The respiratory tract is
subjected to a wide variety of infectious agents.
Size and frequency of dose: The larger the dose and
the more frequent the exposure, the greater the
likelihood of a significant infection.
Age of child: Children of preschool and school age
are more often exposed to infectious agents generally
after 3 months of age infants have less resistance to
infections.
Size of child: Airways are smaller in young children
and more subjected to considerable narrowing from
edema.
Ability to resist invading organisms: School
age children have greater resistance to infection
than infants and young children.
Presence of great conditions:
Malnutrition, anemia, fatigue, chilling of the
body and immune deficiencies decrease normal
resistance to infection.
 Presence of disorders affecting respiratory
tract: Allergies, cardiac abnormalities and cystic
fibrosis weaken respiratory defense mechanism.
Seasons: The most common respiratory tract
pathogens appear in epidemics during winter
and spring months.

 Children average 8 episodes per year, adults 3
episodes per year
 Etiologies :
 Rhinoviruses 30 to 35%
 Coronaviruses about 10%
 Miscellaneous known viruses about 20%
 Influenza and adenovirus-30%
 Presumed undiscovered viruses up to 35%
 Group A streptococci 5% to 10%
 Parainfluenza was the first respiratory virus
isolated (1955)
 Seasonal variation
 Rhinovirus early fall
 Coronavirus- winter
The Common Cold

Common symptoms are sore throat, runny
nose, nasal congestion, sneezing,
Sometimes accompanied by
conjunctivitis, myalgias, fatigue

“rhinosinusitis” might be a better term
Common Cold
The common cold

 Direct contact is the most efficient means of
transmission: 40% to 90% recovery from hands.
 Infectious droplet nuclei
 Brief exposure (e.g., handshake) transmits in less
than 10% of instances
 Kissing does not seem to be a common mode of
transmission.
Transmission of rhinoviruses

 Incubation period 12-72 hours
 Nasal obstruction, drainage, sneezing, scratchy
throat
 Median duration 1 week but 25% can last 2 weeks
 Pharyngeal erythema is commoner with adenovirus
than with rhino or coronavirus
Clinical characteristics

 Main challenge is to distinguish between
uncomplicated cold and streptococcal pharyngitis or
bacterial sinusitis
 Good examination
 Marked exudate or pharyngeal erythema suggests
 Streptococcal infection

 Tonsillitis is a viral or bacterial infection in the throat that
causes inflammation of the tonsils. Tonsils are small glands
(lymphoid tissue) in the pharyngeal cavity.
 In the first six months of life tonsils provide a useful defense
against infections. Tonsillitis is one of the most common
ailments in pre-school children, but it can also occur at any
age.
 Children are most often affected from around the age of three
or four, when they start nursery or school and come into
contact with many new infections.
 A child may have tonsillitis if he/she has a sore throat, a fever
and is off food.
Tonsillitis

Tonsillitis
 Palatine tonsils
(Visible during oral
examination)

 Tonsillitis is caused by a variety of contagious viral
and bacterial infections.
 It is spread by close contact with other individuals
and occurs more during winter periods.
 The most common bacterium causing tonsillitis is
streptococcus.
Causes of tonsilitis

 Encourage bed rest.
 Introduce soft liquid diet according to the child's
preferences.
 Provide cool mist atmosphere to keep the mucous
membranes moist during periods of mouth
breathing.
 Warm saline gargles & paracetamol are useful to
promote comfort.
 If antibiotics are prescribed, counsel the child's
parents regarding the necessity of completing the
treatment period
Advice and treatment:

 The controversy of tonsillectomy:
 Surgical removal of chronic tonsillitis (tonsillectomy)
is controversial. Generally, tonsils should not
removed before 3 or 4 yrs of age, because of the
problem of excessive blood loss & the possibility of
re-growth or hypertrophy of lymphoid tissue, in
young children.
Management:

 Community acquired bacterial sinusitis
 S.pneumoniae
 H. influenzae
 S. pyogenes
 Nosocomial sinusitis
 Seen in critically ill, mechanically ventilated
 S. aureus
 Pseudomonas aeruginosa
 Serratia marcescens
 fungal
Sinusitis

 Clinical features
 Sneezing
 Nasal discharge
 Facial pressure
 Fever
 Purulent drainage
 Headache
 Sinus imaging not routinely recommended
Clinical features

Maxillary: usually uncomplicated
Ethmoid: cavernous sinus thrombosis-serious
Frontal: osteomyelitis of frontal bone; cavernous
sinus thrombosis; epidural, subdural, or
intracerebral abscess; orbital extension
Sphenoid: Rare; extension to internal carotid
artery, cavernous sinuses, pituitary, optic nerves;
common misdiagnoses include ophthalmic
migraine, aseptic meningitis, trigeminal
neuralgia, cavernous sinus thrombosis
Acute sinusitis:
complications
Otitis externa
 Acute, localized: often S.
aureus, S. epidermidis or S.
pyogenes
 Acute diffuse (swimmer’s ear):
gram-negative rods, especially
Ps. Aeruginosa ; Rx: topical
quinolones
 Chronic: mainly with chronic
otitis media
 Malignant: life-threatening
infection in
diabetics, elderly, immunecom
promised

S. pneumoniae and H. influenzae the leading
causes in all age groups (most H. flu is from
non-typable strains and not “B”)
Moraxella catarrhalis: 10% of cases
Some cases may be viral
(RSV, influenza, enteroviruses)
Mycoplasma pneumoniae: inflammation of the
tympanic membrane (“bullous myringitis”)
Acute otitis media
Acute otitis media
 Critical role of
eustachian tube as
conduit between
nasopharynx, middle
ear, and mastoid air
cells
 Children have
shorter, wider
eustachian tubes than
adults

 Presence of fluid in the middle ear AND
 Ear pain, drainage, hearing loss
 The fluid may take weeks to resolve
 Amoxicillin remains the drug of choice
 Beta-lactamase producing strains of H. influenza will
need amoxicillin/clavulanic acid or cephalosporins
Diagnosis and treatment

Otitis Media

 Inflammatory syndrome of the pharynx
 Most cases are viral
 Most important bacterial cause is Streptococcus
pyogenes (15-20%)
 Presents with sore or scratchy throat
 In severe bacterial cases there may be
odynophagia, fever, headache
Acute pharyngitis

 Viral: edema and hyperemia of tonsils and
pharyngeal mucosa
 Streptococcal: exudate and hemorrhage involving
tonsils and pharyngeal walls
 Epstein-Barr virus (infectious mono): may also
cause exudate, with nasopharyngeal lymphoid
hyperplasia
Acute pharyngitis:
physical examination

Adenoviral pharyngitis
Pharyngeal erythema and exudate
may mimic streptococcal pharyngitis
Conjunctivitis (follicular) present in
1/3 to 1/2 of cases; commonly
unilateral but bilateral in 1/4 of cases
Pharyngoconjuntival fever

 Herpangina
 Uncommon
 Due to coxsackieviruss
 Small, 1-2 mm vesicles on the soft palate, uvula, and
anterior tonsillar pillars which rupture to form small
white ulcers
 Occurs mainly in children
Also think of Herpes simplex virus when you
see vesicular lesions
Vesicular lesions

 Vincent’s angina: anaerobic pharyngitis (exudate;
foul odor to breath)
 Ludwig’s angina- cellulitis of dental origin
 Quinsy: peritonsillitis/peritonsillar abscess. Medial
displacement of the tonsil; often spread of infection
to carotid sheath

and Quinsy

 Classic diphtheria (Corynebacterium diphtheriae):
slow onset, then marked toxicity
 Arcanobacterium hemolyticum (formerly
Cornyebacterium hemolyticum): exudative
pharyngitis in adolescents and young adults with
diffuse, sometimes pruritic maculopapular rash on
trunk and extremities
Diphtheria
Diphtheria
fibrous pseudomembrane with necrotic epithelium and leukocytes

  • 2.  Problem statement  Š ARI RESPONSIBLE FOR 20% OF CHILDHOOD (< 5 YEARS) DEATHS (IN WHICH 90% FROM PNEUMONIA)  Š ARI MORTALITY HIGHEST IN CHILDREN-  HIV-infected  Under 2 year of age  Malnourished  Weaned early  Poorly educated parents  Difficult access to healthcare  Š OUT- PATIENT VISITS  20-60%  Š ADMISSIONS  12-45%
  • 3.  Children with ARI presenting in OPD Place % of children London (UK) 35.0 Herston (Australia) 34 Ethiopia (Whole country) 25.5 Sau aulo (Brazil) 41.8 India 38.9 Nepal 37.6
  • 4.   Varied agents – Bacteria and viruses  Clinical picture may vary with etiological agent  May be present in normal people but may cause disease in only few. Epidemiology
  • 5.  Infections of the respiratory tract are described in a number of different ways according to the general areas of involvement in the more common infections. The upper respiratory tract or upper airway consists of primarily of the nose and pharynx. The lower respiratory tract consists of bronchi and bronchioles, which constitute the reactive protein of the airway because of their smooth muscle content and ability to constrict the alveoli. ACUTE RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS
  • 6.  May cause the inflammation of respiratory tract anywhere from nose to alveoli.  May be classified as – AURI – Acute Upper Respiratory Infection (common cold, pharyngitis, epiglottitis, & otitis media etc.) or ALRI – Acute Lower Respiratory Infection (laryngitis, layngotracheitis, bronchitis, bronchiolitis & pneumonia) ACUTE RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS(ARI)

  • 10.  Factors Affecting Type of Illness and Physical Response in Acute Respiratory Infections:
  • 11. Nature of infectious agent: The respiratory tract is subjected to a wide variety of infectious agents. Size and frequency of dose: The larger the dose and the more frequent the exposure, the greater the likelihood of a significant infection. Age of child: Children of preschool and school age are more often exposed to infectious agents generally after 3 months of age infants have less resistance to infections. Size of child: Airways are smaller in young children and more subjected to considerable narrowing from edema.
  • 12. Ability to resist invading organisms: School age children have greater resistance to infection than infants and young children. Presence of great conditions: Malnutrition, anemia, fatigue, chilling of the body and immune deficiencies decrease normal resistance to infection.  Presence of disorders affecting respiratory tract: Allergies, cardiac abnormalities and cystic fibrosis weaken respiratory defense mechanism. Seasons: The most common respiratory tract pathogens appear in epidemics during winter and spring months.
