Abstract:
Respiratory infections are currently very common among children of different ages. Acute upper respiratory tract infections usually accounted for more than 88% of all infectious and parasitic diseases, which is consistent with data for the last 10 years. Therefore, the issues related to both causal and pathogenetic therapy for viral infections in children remain highly relevant. Key words: acute respiratory viral infections, children, infectious diseases, acute nasopharyngitis, acute pharyngitis, acute laryngitis, acute tracheitis, acute laryngopharyngitis, acute upper respiratory tract infection not otherwise specified

Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Children with Down’s Syndrome (DS) are prone to respiratory tract infections (RTIs), yet there is little evidence to guide clinical practice. AIMS: For children with and without DS, this thesis aims to use routinely collected data to identify RTI-related healthcare utilisation, those most at risk of RTI-related healthcare utilisation, and the effects of antibiotics in preventing RTI-related hospitalisation. METHODS: A systematic review of existing interventions and a retrospective cohort study based on routinely collected primary and secondary care data (CALIBER). KEY FINDINGS: The CALIBER cohort comprised 992 children with DS and 4874 controls. Children with DS consulted their GP for RTIs twice as often as controls, were prescribed antibiotics twice as often, and were hospitalized six times as often. In children with DS, younger age, congenital heart disease and asthma were risk factors for RTI-related healthcare utilisation. Using multivariate analysis, this study found that for infants with DS, the prescription of antibiotics significantly reduced subsequent RTI-related hospitalisation - the number needed to treat is 11.9. Separate analysis, inverse probability of treatment weighting, found that the protective effect for infants with DS was not significant. When prescriptions were analysed by type of RTI, the prescription of antibiotics for upper RTIs did not reduce the risk of hospitalization for children with DS or controls. This was also the case for lower RTIs, although with a small sample. CONCLUSION: For children with DS over the age of one presenting with RTIs to primary care, antibiotic treatment does not prevent subsequent RTI-related hospitalisation. There is conflicting evidence from two separate analysis methods as to whether treating infants with DS with antibiotics prevents RTI-related hospitalisation, so further research is recommended. Further prescribing strategies (i.e. rescue antibiotics) should be explored to broaden the evidence base for this at-risk group.

Abstract:
Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) infection is common among young children. Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) is a risk factor of severe illness and hospitalization. Palivizumab prophylaxis reduces the severity of RSV infection and reduces the risk of hospitalization for children at high risk of severe illness, such as children born premature or with CHD. The aim of this thesis was to evaluate compliance with national guidelines for prophylactic treatment and to study the Relative Risk (RR) of hospitalization due to RSV and unspecified Respiratory Tract Infection (RTI) for children with CHD. In a prospective study, questionnaires were sent to all paediatric cardiology centres in Sweden with questions about prophylactic treatment. Hospitalization rates were retrieved from the national inpatient registry. Heart defects were grouped according to type and the relative risk of hospitalization was calculated for each group and for summer and winter seasons. Half of the patients received prophylactic treatment later than recommended in the guidelines. The risk of hospitalization due to RSV infection was increased (RR=2.06 95% CI 1.6-2.6; p < 0.0001) for children with CHD compared to children without CHD. The RR of hospitalization was also increased for all CHD subgroups, and was further increased during summer for children with the more severe CHD. We conclude that guidelines for prophylactic treatment were not followed and that the risk of hospitalization due to RSV and unspecified RTI was increased for all subgroups of CHD. The risk was increased both during winter and summer and we therefore argue that information to health personnel and parents should include that the risk of severe RTI is present all year round for children with CHD.
Respiratoriskt syncytialvirus (RSV) är det vanligaste förkylningsviruset och de allra flesta barn drabbas före två års ålder. RSV kan leda till allvarlig luftvägsinfektion hos alla barn, men speciellt hos dem med medfött hjärtfel. Någon botande läkemedelsbehandling finns inte för RSV, utan de medicinska insatserna får inriktas mot att mildra sjukdomsförloppet och för svårt sjuka barn krävs sjukhusvård för att exempelvis erhålla syrgasbehandling. Det finns inget vaccin mot RSV, men barn som riskerar att bli svårt sjuka kan behandlas profylaktiskt med en monoklonal antikropp (Palivizumab) som ges som injektion en gång per månad under vintersäsong. Vissa barn med svårt hjärtfel får denna profylaktiska behandling enligt nationella riktlinjer. Vår första studie visade att ungefär hälften av barnen med medfött hjärtfel, aktuella för profylax mot RSV, fick behandlingen senare än vad de nationella riktlinjerna rekommenderade. Denna studie genomfördes via en enkät till alla landets barnkliniker under två vintersäsonger. Vi såg även att något fler barn än förväntat (4.6%) fick RSV-infektion trots profylaktisk behandling och för cirka en tredjedel av dessa barn fördröjdes tiden till hjärtoperation. Behovet av sjukhusvård kan användas som mått på hur svårt ett sjukdomsförlopp är, och baserat på Socialstyrelsens slutenvårdsregister studerade vi alla barn under två års ålder och fann att den relativa risken för sjukhusvård på grund av RSV var högre för barn med hjärtfel än för barn utan hjärtfel (RR=2.06 95% CI 1.6-2.6; p < 0.0001). I vår andra studie, baserad på slutenvårdsregistret, beräknade vi den relativa risken för sjukhusvård på grund av RSV, för barn med olika former av hjärtfel och uppdelat i sommar- och vintersäsong. Risken för sjukhusvård var ökad för alla barn oavsett typ av hjärtfel, och detta gällde såväl under vintern som under sommaren. Barn med de allvarligaste formerna av hjärtfel hade högre risk för sjukhusvård under sommaren jämfört med deras risk under vintern, medan barn med vad som anses vara lättare hjärtfel hade ökad risk för sjukhusvård under hela året, utan någon större skillnad i risk mellan vinter och sommar. Att barn med hjärtfel riskerar att bli svårt sjuka i RSV är väl känt, men våra resultat visar att denna risk även existerar under sommarhalvåret, då det inte är RSV-säsong och då profylax inte ges. Vi fann också att barn med vad som anses vara lättare hjärtfel löper lika stor risk att drabbas av svårare sjukdomsförlopp med sjukhusvård under vintern, som barn med svårare hjärtfel. Att denna information sprids till såväl sjukvårdspersonal som arbetar med denna patientgrupp som till föräldrar med hjärtsjuka barn är viktigt, för att belysa att även dessa barn behöver skyddas, och detta inte bara under vintern och RSV-säsongen.

Abstract:
Mestrado em Fisioterapia
Background: Lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI) are the main cause of health burden in the first years of age. To enhance the diagnosis and monitoring of infants with LRTI, researchers have been trying to use the large advantages of conventional auscultation. Computerised respiratory sound analysis (CORSA) is a simple method to detect and characterise Normal Respiratory Sounds (NRS) and Adventitious Respiratory Sounds (ARS). However, if this measure is to be used in the paediatric population, reference values have to be established first. Aim: To compare and characterise NRS and ARS in healthy infants and infants with LRTI. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive-comparative study was conducted in three institutions. Infants were diagnosed by the paediatrician as presenting or not presenting an LRTI, healthy volunteers were recruited from the institutions. Socio-demographic, anthropometric and cardio-respiratory parameters were collected. Respiratory sounds were recorded with a digital stethoscope. Frequency at maximum intensity (Fmax), maximum intensity (Imax) and mean intensity (Imean) over the whole frequency range were collected to characterise NRS. Location, mean number, type, duration and frequency were collected to characterise ARS. All analysis was performed per breathing phase (i.e., inspiration and expiration). Results: Forty nine infants enrolled in this study: 25 healthy infants (G1) and 24 infants with LRTI. Inspiratory Fmax (G1: M 116.1 Hz IQR [107.2-132.4] vs G2: M 118.9Hz IQR [113.2-128.7], p=0.244) and expiratory frequencies (G1: M 107.3Hz IQR [102.9-116.9] vs G2: M 112.6Hz IQR [106.6-122.6], p= 0.083) slightly higher than their healthy peers. Wheeze occupation rate was statistically significantly different between groups in inspiration (G1: M 0 IQR [0-0.1] vs G2: M 0.2 IQR [0-5.2] p= 0.032) and expiration (G1: M 0 IQR [0-1.9] vs G2: M 1.5 IQR [0.2-6.7] p= 0.015), being the infants with LRTI the ones presenting more wheezes. Conclusion: Computerised respiratory sounds in healthy infants and infants with LRTI presented differences. The main findings indicated that NRS have Fmax higher in infants with LRTI than in healthy infant and Wh% was the characteristic that differ the most between infant with LRTI and healthy infant.
Enquadramento: As infeções respiratórias do trato inferior (IRTI) constituem o principal problema de saúde nos primeiros anos de vida das crianças. Desta forma, a investigação tem-se focado no desenvolvimento de medidas objetivas para o diagnóstico de IRTI, utilizando essencialmente as vantagens da auscultação convencional incorporadas numa análise computorizada e automática. Contudo, apesar da análise computorizada de sons respiratórios ser um método simples de deteção e caraterização dos sons respiratórios normais (SRN) e adventícios (SRA), desconhecem-se quais os valores de referência dos sons respiratórios em crianças, o que limita a sua aplicação na prática clínica Objetivos: Caraterizar e comparar os SRN e os SRA em crianças saudáveis e com IRTI. Métodos: Estudo descritivo, comparativo e transversal realizado em três instituições. Eram elegíveis crianças diagnosticadas pelo pediatra com IRTI e voluntários para crianças saudáveis. Foram recolhidos dados sócio demográficos, antropométricos e parâmetros cardiorrespiratórios. Os sons respiratórios foram registados com um estetoscópio digital. Foram analisados diversos parâmetros para os SRN: a frequência na intensidade máxima (Fmax), a intensidade máxima (Imax) e a média da intensidade ao longo de toda a faixa de frequência (Imean). Nos SRA foram analisados: a taxa de ocupação por wheezes (Wh%), a média wheezes (Wh), o número e o tipo Wh, a frequência e a localização Wh por região; o número crackles (Cr), o tipo e a frequência Cr, a duração da deflexão inicial, da maior deflexão e dos dois ciclos de deflexão dos Cr. Todos estes dados foram analisados por fase do ciclo respiratório (i.e., inspiração e expiração). Resultados: Quarenta e nove crianças foram incluídas neste estudo: 25 saudáveis (G1) e 24 com IRTI (G2). A Fmax inspiratória (G1: M 116,1 Hz IQR [107,2-132,4] vs G2: M 118.9Hz IQR [113,2-128,7], p = 0,244) e expiratória (G1: M 107.3Hz IQR [102,9-116,9] vs G2: M 112.6Hz IQR [106,6-122,6], p = 0,083) foi superior nas crianças com IRTI relativamente às crianças saudáveis. A Wh% foi significativamente superior nas crianças com IRTI, relativamente às crianças saudáveis na inspiração (G1: M 0 IQR [0-0,1] vs G2: M 0,2 IQR [0-5,2] p = 0,032) e na expiração (G1: M 0 IQR [0-1,9] vs G2: M 1,5 IQR [0,2-6,7] p = 0,015). Conclusão: Os sons respiratórios computorizados de crianças saudáveis e com IRTI apresentam diferenças. Os principais resultados indicam que os sons respiratórios normais apresentam uma Fmax maior em crianças com IRTI do que em saudáveis e que Wh% é a característica que mais difere entre os dois grupos.

Abstract:
Upper respiratory tract infections (URTI) are one of the most common illnesses affecting the general population and particularly athletes, often reducing the individual capacity of physical performance. Epidemiological data suggest that intensive exercise, training and competition may increase susceptibility to respiratory infections. On the other hand, some studies defend that less active subjects may reduce their risk of URTI by engaging in moderate exercise training. Nevertheless, reports are not unanimous and frequently contained various limitations. The higher incidence of infections in elite athletes has been widely attributed to immune suppression induced by exhaustive exercise, however this has not been clearly demonstrated. The present series of studies aimed to investigate the relationship between physical activity and the incidence of URTI in young healthy females with a range of physical activity levels, from sedentary to elite athletes (tennis players). Additionally, it was intended to explore the temporal association between specific characteristics of tennis training and competition, the incidence of URTI, and salivary lgA levels (μg.mr1 ; μg.min-1 ) and changes, in elite female tennis players over a 12-week period. To accomplish the objectives described, a practical method for quantifying tennis play was validated and applied. Major findings of this research include the greater incidence of URTI symptomatology in girls with low or extremely high levels of physical activity as compared to those with moderate levels. Moreover, the incidence of URTI in elite tennis players was directly correlated with the training load and competition level, on a weekly basis. In the subsequent study, one hour of intense tennis play produced a significant drop in salivary lgA secretion rate (S-lgA), and the magnitude of the immune suppression was directly associated with the amount of training undertaken during the previous day and week (P<0.05). Nevertheless, tennis training did not seem to suppress chronically salivary lgA as positive correlations were found between resting salivary lgA levels of concentration and secretion rate, and the amount of training undertaken previously. Finally, it was noted a sharper post-exercise drop in S-lgA in occasions preceding an URTI episode compared to occasions when the infection did not develop subsequently (within 7 days). However, this parameter was not a specific predictor of URTI, in this cohort of athletes.

Abstract:
The human nasopharynx is a reservoir of both commensal and pathogenic bacteria that can be easily transmitted from one individual to another. It has long been hypothesised that host commensal flora give protection from carriage of pathogens and invasive disease. The commensal Neisseria lactamica has previously been associated with protection against the closely related human pathogen Neisseria meningitidis, which is thought to be due to the acquisition of cross-reactive immunity to N. meningitidis. The objective of this study was to identify the extent of protection by N. lactamica in the absence of host immune cells, using an in vitro model of the human nasopharyngeal epithelium with the Detroit 562 (D562) cell line. N. lactamica has been demonstrated to attenuate the induction of innate inflammatory cytokines and chemokines from D562 cells challenged with N. meningitidis. For the first time in this study, N. lactamica was found to attenuate the induction of IL6, IL8 and TNFα from D562 cells challenged with the unrelated Gram-positive human pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae. Attenuation by N. lactamica did not extend to suppression of MAPK pathways when stimulated with chemical agonists, but was able to suppress inflammation induced through the intracellular PAMP receptor TLR3, which is not involved in meningococcal or pneumococcal inflammation. This suggests a global mechanism of attenuation in host cells by N. lactamica. N. lactamica was further demonstrated to reduce association with and invasion of D562 epithelial cells by N. meningitidis serogroup B (MenB) by up to 60% and 90%, respectively. This suppression was dependent on live N. lactamica and did not require invasion of host cells by the commensal, suggesting an active mechanism employed by N. lactamica. The occasional human commensal coloniser Neisseria polysaccharea was found to reduce adhesion and invasion of MenB to a similar degree, however the related commensal Neisseria cinerea was not. The reduction in MenB association with host cells protected host cells from MenB-induced apoptosis, which was mediated by activation of caspase 3. This study demonstrates that commensal Neisseria spp. N. lactamica and N. polysaccharea protect the host at the nasopharyngeal epithelium from experimental colonisation and invasive disease by MenB. Additionally, commensal neisseriae protect against inflammation and cell death induced by the unrelated pathogen S. pneumoniae. Therefore, commensal neisseriae warrant further study to evaluate their effectiveness for use as probiotics to protect against bacterial pathogens responsible for meningitis.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Background: Acute respiratory tract infections constitute the major causes of mortality and morbidity of the developing world. The risk factors of acute respiratory tract infections have been identified such as passive smoking, the practice of burning mosquito coils indoors, and firewood for cooking. The purpose of this study was examine Subjects and Method: A case control study was carried out at Selat community health center, Batanghari district, Jambi, Indonesia, from May to July 2020. A sample of 132 children under five aged 12-59 months was selected by purposive sampling. The dependent variable was acute respiratory infection. The independent variables were smoking behavior of family member, repellant coil use, and firewood use. The data were collected by questionnaire, medial record, and observation sheet. The data were analyzed by Chi square. Results: Acute respiratory infection in children under five increased with family member smoking behavior (OR= 4.73; 95% CI= 2.20 to 10.17; p<0.001), mosquito coils (OR= 1.26; 95% CI= 0.48 to 3.29; p= 0.627), and firewood use for cooking (OR= 1.28; 95% CI= 0.57 to 2.89; p= 0.538). Conclusion: Acute respiratory infection in children under five increased with family member smoking behavior, mosquito coils, and firewood use for cooking.

Abstract:
Introduction: Diabetes (DM) is often recognized as ‎an independent risk factor for developing severe respiratory tract infections. Influenza infections are associated with higher hospitalization, morbidity and mortality in DM patients. Vaccination against Influenza virus would reduce the burden of flu infection in DM patients. Aim: To assess the prevalence and burden of influenza infection in DM patients in Qatar and to evaluate the efficacy of influenza vaccination in DM patients Methods: The study included 26,989 patients between 2016- 2018. Virology test results (20 pathogens) as well as the levels of HbA1c were collected for all participant. Data was filtered and analysed to explore the influenza prevalence and vaccine efficiacy among diabetis patients in comparision to non-diabetic. Findings: This study shows that DM patients are at higher-risk for influenza infection. In general, Influenza infections covers around 50 % of total respiratory infections in patients with flu like symptoms in Qatar. However, in vaccinated DM patients, influenza test positivity was low. This study reports the efficacy of routine flu vaccination to reduce the burden of influenza infection in DM patients.

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: Is pediatric tuina an effective treatment for recurrent respiratory tract infection in children? Condition being studied: Recurrent respiratory tract infection (RRTI) is a common disease in children, which refers to the recurrence of upper and lower respiratory tract infections within a year, exceeding the prescribed number of times. It is more common in infants under 3 years old. The disease is easy to relapse and lasts for a long time, affecting the normal growth and development of children and physical and mental health, easily causing other diseases, leading to a variety of chronic wasting diseases, and damaging the function of organs and the immune system. Immunotherapy and nutritional therapy are commonly used in Western medicine. At present, the treatment of RRTI in children with traditional Chinese medicine has achieved a certain effect, and the treatment mainly includes internal treatment and external treatment. Tuina therapy is one of the common therapies for the treatment of RRTI in children with traditional Chinese medicine. Because of its advantages, there are many literature reports on tuina treatment of this disease, with a good total effective rate, but whether its therapeutic effect is higher than other therapies has not been determined as a whole. This study used the method of systematic review to collect the published clinical research literature on the treatment of RRTI in children at home and abroad for systematic review, so as to provide a reference for clinical research.

Abstract:
The authors performed unsteady numerical simulations of virus/particle transport released from a hypothetical passenger aboard a commuter bus. The bus model was sized according to a typical city bus used to transport passengers within the city of Long Beach in California. The simulations were performed for the bus in transit and when the bus was at a bus stop opening the middle doors for 30 seconds for passenger boarding and drop off. The infected passenger was sitting in an aisle seat in the middle of the bus, releasing 1267 particles (viruses)/min. The bus ventilation system released air from two linear slots in the ceiling at 2097 cubic feet per minute (CFM) and the air was exhausted at the back of the bus. Results indicated high exposure for passengers sitting behind the infectious during the bus transit. With air exchange outside during the bus stop, particles were spread to seats in front of the infectious passenger, thus increasing the risk of infection for the passengers sitting in front of the infectious person. With higher exposure time, the risk of infection is increased. One of the most important factors in assessing infection risk of respiratory diseases is the spatial distribution of the airborne pathogens. The deposition of the particles/viruses within the human respiratory system depends on the size, shape, and weight of the virus, the morphology of the respiratory tract, as well as the subject’s breathing pattern. For the current investigation, the viruses are modeled as solid particles of fixed size. While the results provide details of particles transport within a bus along with the probable risk of infection for a short duration, however, these results should be taken as preliminary as there are other significant factors such as the virus’s survival rate, the size distribution of the virus, and the space ventilation rate and mixing that contribute to the risk of infection and have not been taken into account in this investigation.
