Acute respiratory diseases, especially those of viral etiology, occupy a goodly proportion of the attention of the pediatrician in his daily practice. In this small volume, Dr. Adams attempts to bring together the rapidly appearing information regarding recent discoveries and innovations in virology and correlate them with clinical aspects of respiratory infection. Sections are devoted to introducing basic concepts in virology and to anatomic and physiologic aspects of the respiratory system in relation to infection.

Acute respiratory diseases (ARD) are widespread diseases and are of great social importance. Diagnosis of acute respiratory infections implies the damage to the respiratory system caused by a wide range of pathogens. Among the pathogens of acute respiratory infections are viruses of acute respiratory viral infection (ARVI) group, including influenza, as well as fungal and bacterial pathogens, which include intracellular bacteria: mycoplasma and chlamydia. Diseases caused by intracellular pathogens are treated by antibacterial drugs that can easily penetrate the cells and create there high concentrations.

Acute respiratory infections are the most common pathology in childhood, representing not only a medical but also a socio-economic problem. Numerous studies on the use of anti-inflammatory therapy in ARI have shown high efficacy and safety profile of fenspiride. The combination of anti-inflammatory, antiallergic, and antispasmodic properties ensures the success of fenspiride in the treatment of acute respiratory diseases in children. Fenspiride reduces symptoms of ARI, accelerates recovery, reduces the need for additional prescription of other drugs.

Acute respiratory infections (ARIs) in children are common conditions characterized by high morbidity. ARIs account for up to 75% of all cases of antibiotic use. Dysbiosis results in the impaired performance of vital functions, i.e., digestion, synthesis, colonization resistance, and the regulation of immune system. Probiotics are one of the effective tools to affect the composition of gut microbiota and to restore its metabolic activity. Probiotics, their effects on human organism, and their use in various diseases have received an enormous attention. Meanwhile, the use of antibiotics and the etiological diversity of ARIs account for the lack and irrationality of extensive preventive measures (as in flu) and raise the interest in non-specific prophylaxis. Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) and Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. Lactis BB-12 are well-studied strains. Lactobacillus plantarum LP01 and LP02, Lactobacillus rhamnosus LR04 and LR05, and Bifidobacterium lactis BS01 used as monostrain probiotics are also of interest. Multistrain probiotics are gaining traction. However, these probiotics are understudied and require more attention. KEYWORDS: microbiome, monostrain probiotics, multistrain probiotics, acute respiratory infections, antibiotic-associated diarrhea, antibiotic-associated syndrome, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Bifidobacterium lactis.

The species affiliation of respiratory pathogens isolated from patients and carriers in the military units of the Western Military District in 2014-2019 was studied. The analysis of long-term and seasonal dynamics of their circulation is carried out. It was found that S. pneumoniae and adenoviruses are more often detected in acute respiratory diseases in conscripts. The genetic material of adenoviruses was found in 31,9% of samples, influenza viruses in 13,3%, rhinoviruses in 11,2%, respiratory syncytial viruses in 1,7%, metapneumoviruses in 0,9%, parainfluenza viruses 0,7%, bocaviruses0,5%, coronaviruses 0,1%, S. pneumoniae 33,9%, H. influenzae 13%, M. pneumoniae 9%, C. pneumoniae - in 3,3%, N. meningitidis - in 16%. Comparison of the results of work with studies carried out by domestic research groups among the civilian population in the same period showed that the circulation of various respiratory viruses depends on the year, season, and is also influenced by socio-demographic factors. A direct high functional correlation was found between the dynamics of circulation of adenovirus and S. pneumoniae in different years and epidemic seasons. Evidence has been obtained of the active implementation of the process of self-maintenance of the reservoir of infections and the multifactorial nature of the overall environmental sustainability of the system in organized military teams. In the etiological structure of respiratory infections, the proportion of pathogens varies depending on the season in different years, the characteristics of the formation and composition of organized groups, as well as epidemic periods.

 Background: Acute respiratory infections (ARI) are the leading cause of death worldwide especially among children. The majority of these infections in children are of viral etiology. In this study, we evaluated the incidence of viral ARI among children in Lebanon. Methods: Children presenting with symptoms of ARI were prospectively recruited between September 2009 to February 2012. Nasopharyngeal aspirates were obtained from patients and screened for 11 respiratory viruses using a multiplex Luminex-based PCR assay. Results: Two hundred twenty-one patients were recruited with a median age of 1 year (IQR: 0 - 5). Out of 221 patients, 116 (52.5%) were positive for at least one virus, the majority (103/116; 88.8%) of which were in children under 6-year of age. Overall 188 viruses were detected. Rhinovirus (RhV) was the most common virus detected in 81 (69.8%) patients followed by coxsackie virus and echovirus (CVEV) which were detected as one target in the panel in 45 (38.8%), and parainfluenza viruses (PIV types: 1, 2, 3, 4) in 24 (20.7%) patients. Coinfection with more than one virus was detected in 49 (42.9%) patients. RhV and CVEV were the most common viruses associated with co-infections and higher risk of rhinorrhea. Conclusion: Viral pathogens account for at least half of the ARIs in Lebanon, with a high frequency of co-infections being detected.
