Nosocomial Respiratory Infections

Infection Control, 1983
AbstractNosocomial respiratory tract infections are major causes of excessive morbidity and mortality in US hospitals, affecting an estimated five to ten of every 1,000 patients. Patients with serious underlying diseases have an especially high risk of acquiring these infections, and that risk is magnified by exposure to respiratory therapy.

Sleep and Respiratory Infections

Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine
AbstractSleep disorders that involve circadian rhythm disruption and sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) such as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are closely linked to respiratory infections. SDB leads to a proinflammatory state due to intermittent hypoxia, sleep fragmentation, increased oxidative stress, and elevation of inflammatory mediators such as tumor

Respiratory infections of sheep

Comparative Immunology, Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 1996
Sheep respiratory infections appear as differing clinical syndromes. Mild, acute infections are usually due to parainfluenza 3 (PI3) virus. A mild but chronic respiratory problem in lambs under 1 year old is thought to be caused by Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae probably in association with Pasteurella and PI3.

Pediatric Clinics of North America, 2009
The child who has recurrent infections poses one of the most difficult diagnostic challenges in pediatrics. The clinician faces a two-fold challenge in determining first whether the child is normal or has a serious disease, and then, in the latter case, how to confirm or exclude the diagnosis with the minimum number of the least invasive tests.

Respiratory Infections in the Newborn

Clinics in Perinatology, 1987
Respiratory infections, especially pneumonia, are common in the first four weeks of life and are the cause of significant morbidity and mortality. Infants may be infected in utero, during labor and delivery, or postnatally. The etiology of neonatal respiratory infections varies widely and spans the spectrum from bacteria to protozoa.
