Acute respiratory tract infection is an acute infection which attacks one or more part of respiratory tractfrom nose to alveoli. This disease is an important society’s health problem especially in the developingcountries which attacks children easily especially who have low body’s immunity. This aim of the researchwas to know representation of the treatment and the accuracy of antibiotics distribution as the treatment ofpediatric patients of acute upper respiratory tract infection (AURTI) at Health Center in Kunduran, Blora2013 which is observed by appropriate parameter indication, appropriate drugs, appropriate dose andappropriate patients using the standard from WHO (2003). This research was categorized as qualitativeand non experimental research. In obtaining the data, the researcher trace the pediatric patient’s medicalrecord in the registration book in the health center Kunduran, Blora regency year 2013. The obtained datawas analyzed descriptively to evaluate the rationality of antibiotics distribution for AURTI. The researchresult showed that over 110 of the available samples in children aged up to 12 years old which werediagnosed as AURTI sufferer, 92 cases (83.63%) used amoxicillin antibiotics, 18 cases (16.37%) usedkotrimoksazol, 72 cases (65.50%) were proper indication, 59 case (53.63%) were proper drugs, 110 cases(100%) were proper patients, 87 case (79.09%) were proper dose, and 47 case (42.70) were rational in thetreatment

Otitis media is mainly caused by upper respiratory tract infection and eustachian tube dysfunction. If external upper respiratory tract infection is not detected early in the middle ear, or an appropriate immune response does not occur, otitis media can become a chronic state or complications may occur. Therefore, given the important role of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) in the early response to external antigens, we surveyed the role of TLRs in otitis media. To summarize the role of TLR in otitis media, we reviewed articles on the expression of TLRs in acute otitis media (AOM), otitis media with effusion (OME), chronic otitis media (COM) with cholesteatoma, and COM without cholesteatoma. Many studies showed that TLRs 1–10 are expressed in AOM, OME, COM with cholesteatoma, and COM without cholesteatoma. TLR expression in the normal middle ear mucosa is absent or weak, but is increased in inflammatory fluid of AOM, effusion of OME, and granulation tissue and cholesteatoma of COM. In addition, TLRs show increased or decreased expression depending on the presence or absence of bacteria, recurrence of disease, tissue type, and repeated surgery. In conclusion, expression of TLRs is associated with otitis media. Inappropriate TLR expression, or delayed or absent induction, are associated with the occurrence, recurrence, chronicization, and complications of otitis media. Therefore, TLRs are very important in otitis media and closely related to its etiology.

Accompanying Symptoms

We report the cases of eight military patients with fever (≥38°C) induced by viral upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) who requested treatment with acupuncture in the military medical service room. All patients were treated immediately after diagnosis with classical acupuncture (GV14, GB20, TE8 points) and a new type of acupuncture, equilibrium acupuncture ( Feibing and Ganmao points). After one treatment session (20 min), reduction of body temperature was confirmed in all patients. Accompanying symptoms such as headache, myalgia and nasal obstruction also showed a tendency to decrease. Within 3 days of treatment, six of the eight patients had recovered from the URTI. No adverse effects of acupuncture treatment were reported.
