SELECTION PRINCIPLES OF INITIAL ETIOTROPIC THERAPY FOR ACUTE UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT INFECTIONS IN CHILDREN

Acute upper respiratory tract infections maintain leadership in the overall morbidity patterns of the Russian Federation population. The highest prevalence of acute respiratory infections is reported in the pediatric population. For example, if in 2016 there were 21,703.38 cases of acute upper respiratory tract infections per 100,000 population nationwide, the incidence rate in children aged 0–14 years was 4.1 times higher and amounted to 88,621.04 per 100,000 [1]

ACUTE OBSTRUCTIVE LARYNGITIS IN CHILDREN: EMERGENCY PRE-HOSPITAL MANAGEMENT (IN A TABULAR AND DIAGRAM FORM)

Acute obstructive laryngitis is a life-threatening upper respiratory tract disease of various aetiologies that is characterized by laryngostenosis and manifests itself by barking cough, dysphonia and inspiratory dyspnoea [8]. A child showing these clinical symptoms needs urgent medical care. Delay in emergency treatment of a child with acute obstructive laryngitis may lead to serious complications and even to an unfavourable outcome [1–15]

GENETIC AND MOLECULAR BASIS OF ASYMPTOMATIC BACTERIURIA IN CHILDREN: WHAT’S NEW?

Due to improvement of genetic and molecular methods of study of both micro-organisms and individual human cell structures, the interest of scientists in the finest mechanisms of interaction between macro- and microorganisms has sprung up in recent years. The study of the microbiota and the diversity of microorganisms in all parts of the human body gave rise to a new understanding of the development of many diseases and, accordingly, to the possibility of creating new therapeutic approaches. The microbiota of the bladder is no exception either. The mechanisms of the formation of asymptomatic bacteriuria (AB) and urinary tract infection (UTI) are of interest to many scientists. The presented article is devoted to the review of recent studies focused on the genetic, immune and molecular mechanisms of interaction between macro- and microorganisms in the development of UTI
