Nosocomial Respiratory Infections
Infection Control, 1983AbstractNosocomial 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.

Pediatric Clinics of North America, 1994
Viral infections constitute more than 60% of acute lower respiratory illnesses. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and parainfluenza viruses are the most frequent etiologic agents. After transmission by large droplet aerosol or direct contact, the viruses gain entry into host cells through specific viral surface proteins; subsequently, pathogenetic ...

Sleep and Respiratory Infections
Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care MedicineAbstractSleep 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, 1996Sheep 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.

Respiratory infections in the traveler
Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 2000The growth of travel of recent years has been unprecedented and presents new challenges to health professionals worldwide. More travelers of diverse backgrounds are visiting exotic locales rarely encountered before. This poses new risks to health, in addition to potentially aiding the spread of emerging respiratory infections.

Recurrent Respiratory Infections
Pediatric Clinics of North America, 2009The 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.
