Allergen immunotherapy effectively reduces the risk of exacerbations and lower respiratory tract infections in both seasonal and perennial allergic asthma: a nationwide epidemiological study

European Respiratory Journal, 2022
Background Allergic asthma is associated with increased risk of respiratory tract infections and exacerbations. It remains unclear whether this susceptibility is conditioned by seasonal or by perennial allergy.

Clinical Utility of In-house Metagenomic Next-generation Sequencing for the Diagnosis of Lower Respiratory Tract Infections and Analysis of the Host Immune Response.

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2020
BACKGROUND Only few pathogens that cause lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) can be identified due to limitations of traditional microbiological methods and the complexity of the oropharyngeal normal flora.

Lower Respiratory Tract Infections

Pediatric Clinics of North America, 2009
Acute lower respiratory infections (ALRI) are the major cause of morbidity and mortality in young children worldwide. ALRIs are important indicators of the health disparities that persist between Indigenous and non-Indigenous children in developed countries. Bronchiolitis and pneumonia account for the majority of the ALRI burden.

Lower respiratory tract infection

The American Journal of Medicine, 1985
The most important lower respiratory infection is pneumonia, the fourth leading cause of death. Most cases of bronchitis are of viral etiology and are not major problems. Empyema can present an important problem in management. Although the diagnosis of pneumonia is usually relatively straightforward, the specific etiologic diagnosis remains a major ...

Telithromycin in Lower Respiratory Tract Infections

Future Microbiology, 2006
Telithromycin is a ketolide, a semisynthetic derivative of the 14-membered ring macrolide antibiotics, with an expanded spectrum of activity relative to macrolides. Its good tissue pharmacokinetic characteristics allows once-daily administration, and it has been successfully employed in lower respiratory tract infections.

Azithromycin and lower respiratory tract infections

Expert Opinion on Pharmacotherapy, 2005
Azithromycin is a macrolide antibiotic that has been structurally modified from erythromycin with an expanded spectrum of activity and improved tissue pharmacokinetic characteristics relative to erythromycin. This allows once-daily administration for 3-5 days of treatment compared with traditional multi dosing 7-10-day treatment regimens.

Biomarkers in lower respiratory tract infections

Pulmonary Pharmacology & Therapeutics, 2010
This review aims to provide physicians with an overview of the potential of biomarkers to complement existing clinical severity scores and in conjunction with clinical parameters to improve the diagnosis, risk-stratification and management of lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs). The usefulness of biomarkers for diagnosing LRTIs is still unclear.
