Bacterial lysates in the prevention of respiratory tract infections.
Otolaryngologia polska = The Polish otolaryngology, 2018Bacterial lysates stimulate the general immunity of the body in a non-specific way. They act on non-specific defense mechanisms, leading to an increase in type A antibody in mucous membranes, phagocytic activity and INF-ƴ production.

Respiratory tract infections in the immunocompromised
Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 2013Pulmonary infections are particularly common in the immunosuppressed host. This review discusses emerging threats, newer modalities of diagnostic tests and emerging treatment options, and also highlights the increasing problem of antimicrobial resistance.Nosocomial pneumonia is increasingly due to multidrug-resistant Gram-negative organisms in ...

Infections of the Respiratory Tract
1988Acute respiratory infections (ARI) are a leading cause of death in developing countries. Figures published by UNICEF indicate that 97% of deaths of children less than 1 year old, and 98% of deaths of children aged 1–5 years occur in third world countries, where 75% of the world’s population live.

Respiratory infections are common in general practice. In DBs practice 22% of all new episodes of illness and 55% of all new episodes of infection are due to infections of the respiratory tract. For every 1000 patients registered with a general practitioner presenting during the course of any given year, 140 will consult with acute upper respiratory ...

Upper respiratory tract infections
Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 1999In reviewing recent advances in upper respiratory tract infections, we focus on five key topics. First, the use of ribavirin in the treatment of respiratory syncytial virus infection has been limited to the immunosuppressed. Prophylaxis in high-risk patients with specific immunoglobulin is effective and a new monoclonal antibody shows promise.

Lower Respiratory Tract Infections
Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 2004Lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) are among the most common infections treated by health care providers. They include a variety of infections ranging from mild acute viral bronchitis to life-threatening ventilatorassociated pneumonia. Despite advances in general knowledge concerning such diseases, there remains considerable morbidity and ...

The epidemiology of respiratory tract infections
Seminars in Respiratory Infections, 2000Respiratory tract infections (RTIs) are the most common, and potentially most severe, of infections treated by health care practitioners. Lower RTIs along with influenza, are the most common cause of death by infection in the United States. Risk factors for pneumonia and other respiratory tract infections include: extremes of age (very young and ...

Lower respiratory tract infection
The American Journal of Medicine, 1985The 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 ...

Mechanisms of infection in the respiratory tract
New Zealand Veterinary Journal, 1981Related to its potential vulnerability the respiratory tract has a very complex and effective defence apparatus. The interaction between these defence mechanisms and certain characteristics of aetiological agents results in a pattern in which initial infections by these agents tend to occur at specific sites in the tract.
