Aetiological role of viral and bacterial infections in acute adult lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) in primary care [PDF]
Background: Lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI) are a common reason for consulting general practitioners (GPs). In most cases the aetiology is unknown, yet most result in an antibiotic prescription.

Detection of viral and bacterial pathogens in acute respiratory infections [PDF]
The role of bacteria in acute respiratory illnesses (ARI) of adults and interactions with viral infections is incompletely understood. This study tested the hypothesis that bacterial co-infection during ARI adds to airway inflammation and illness severity.Two groups of 97 specimens each were randomly selected from multiplex-PCR identified virus ...

Cytokines in acute respiratory viral infections
Human Respiratory syncytial virus (hRSV) and human metapneumovirus (hMPV) are the two major etiological viral agents of lower respiratory tract infections, affecting mainly infants, pediatric patients and the elderly. Although the infection by either of the viruses trigger an antiviral immune response that mediate viral clearance and disease resolution
