Abstract: Relationship of Carbon Monoxide Pollution in House With The Upper Respiratory Tract infection In Desa Sungai Alat Kabupaten Banjar. The data showed 64.2 % of households in South Kalimantan residents use charcoal and firewood for cooking, so the room in a house filled with smoke. In addition to the state of the smoke could also come from outside , because the habits of the people who set fire to dry land in the dry season. This phenomenon is predicted to be potential risk of respiratory tract infections. This study aims to determine the relationship of carbon monoxide pollution in homes with the upper respiratory tract infection in Desa Sungai Alat Kabupaten Banjar. Using cross sectional study design. The number of samples taken 28 infants in total population. Analysis used logistic regression. The results of the research data showed levels of CO in the average house of 0.42 mg / m3 in the range of 0.19 to 1.62 mg / m3 . The number of infants who suffer from respiratory 42.9 %. Houses that use firewood as much as 53.6 % , and home to the unhealthy category as much as 78.6 % . Temperatures in the average home 32.6 0C , and air humidity in the average home 71.41 %. Bivariate analysis using logistic regression, there was no significant association between levels of CO with the upper respiratory tract infection in infants ; similarly no significant association between the control variables with the dependent variable. To do a home assessment form should be conducted validity assessment. In further studies the expected number of samples propagated to the toddler . Keywords: pollution , carbon monoxide , upper respiratory tract infection

Background Due to the lack of effective and feasible viral biomarkers to distinguish viral infection from bacterial infection, children often receive unnecessary antibiotic treatment. To identify serum β2-microglobulin that distinguishes bacterial upper respiratory tract infection from viral upper respiratory tract infection and exanthem subitum in children. Methods This retrospective study was conducted from January 1, 2019 to September 30, 2020 in Yancheng Third People’s Hospital. Children with upper respiratory tract infection and exanthem subitum were recruited. The concentration of serum β2-microglobulin in the viral and bacterial infection groups were statistically analyzed. Results A total of 291 children included 36 with bacterial upper respiratory tract infection (median age, 13 months; 44.4% female), 197 with viral upper respiratory tract infection (median age, 12 months; 43.7% female) and 58 with exanthem subitum (median age, 13 months; 37.9% female). When the concentration of β2-microglobulin was 2.4mg/L, the sensitivity to distinguish viral from bacterial upper respiratory tract infection was 81.2% (95% CI [75.1–86.4%]), and the specificity was 80.6% (95% CI [64.0–91.8]%). When the cutoff was 2.91 mg/L, the sensitivity of β2-microglobulin to distinguish exanthem subitum from bacterial upper respiratory tract infection was 94.8% (95% CI [85.6–98.9]%), and the specificity was 100% (95% CI [90.3–100]%). Conclusions Serum β2-microglobulin may be a significant biological indicator in children with upper respiratory tract infection and exanthem subitum.

Respiratory tract infections are the most common infections in the developing countries. Its mode of spread is also very fast as compared to any other infection. Therefore; we have aimed this study based on the administration of two different drugs, Ciprox (Ciprofloxacin) and Augmentin (amoxicillin/clavulanate potassium), for the treatment of upper respiratory tract infection.

Abstract Background As part of our outpatient Antimicrobial Stewardship Program, we do surveillance of diagnoses and antibiotic use for common upper respiratory tract infections such as acute upper respiratory tract infection, acute bronchitis, sinusitis, and pharyngitis. We sought to evaluate the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the incidence rate of upper respiratory tract infection diagnoses per clinic visit during October 2020 to March 2021 season compared to the three prior respiratory seasons. We also sought to reflect of impact of increase in televisits and overlapping symptoms of COVID 19 and upper respiratory tract infections. Methods Our cohort study extending from October 2017 to March 2021. We collected number of diagnoses of upper respiratory infections and number of unique clinic visits during four consecutive respiratory seasons at our primary care sites via electronic health records. Results During the recent October 2020 to March 2021 respiratory season which coincided with the second NYC Covid-19 wave, we had 11569 unique clinic visits and 39 diagnoses of an upper respiratory tract infection - incident rate of 1.29. In the three prior respiratory seasons combined, we had 40939 unique clinic visits and 833 diagnoses of an upper respiratory tract infection – incident rate of 1.49. The incident rates showed a dramatic decline using the test based method and the chi square-statistic p< 0.0001 with an incident rate ratio using a poisson exact method of 6.0359. Statistical comparisons of the current season to each prior individual season yielded similar results. The percentage of Tele-visits during the current season was 19% compared to 0% in the 3 prior seasons. Conclusion During the first respiratory season from October 2020 to March 2021 in midst of the Covid-19 pandemic which also coincided with the second Covid-19 wave in New York, we saw a statistically significant decrease in incidence of common upper respiratory tract infection diagnoses per clinic visit compared to the three prior respiratory seasons. Overlapping signs and symptoms of upper respiratory tract infections and Covid-19 with the added percentage in Tele-visits did not cause an increase in incidence rates of upper respiratory tract infection diagnoses. Covid-19 related mitigation efforts may have played a role. Disclosures All Authors: No reported disclosures

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.
