Objective. To determine the clinical and anamnestic risk factors for neonatal intrauterine infection (IUI) in pregnant women with urogenital infections (UGI).Materials and methods. 431 patients were examined: the main group (group 1) — 353 women with UGI during pregnancy (subgroup 1A — 215 women whose children were diagnosed with IUI, subgroup 1B — 138 women whose children were born without signs of IUI; the comparison group (group 2) — 78 women without UGI during pregnancy (subgroup 2A — 44 patients whose children were born with signs of IUI, subgroup 2B — 34 women whose children did not have IUI. We studied the obstetric and gynecological, somatic anamnesis of the patients, the course of their pregnancy.Results. The presence of gynecological and somatic diseases in the anamnesis of the pregnant women with UGI was associated with a signifcant increase of the risk for neonatal IUI (p = 0.003 and p = 0.005, respectively). Vaginitis (p = 0.041), background and precancerous diseases of the cervix (p = 0.027) were signifcantly most prevalent in the pregnant women with UGIs in their history. Pregnancy complicated by UGI proceeded with a recurrent miscarriage risk (p = 0.046) was most often accompanied by acute respiratory infection (p ˂ 0.001) and signifcantly most often ended in premature birth — 24.7% (p = 0.009).Conclusion. The search for objective criteria for the development of neonatal IUI is an important and complex task of modern obstetrics. The analysis of the anamnesis of pregnant women with urogenital infections, as well as timely diagnosis and adequate treatment of urogenital infection and acute respiratory infection will reduce the miscarriage rate and the incidence rate of neonatal IUI.

Abstract Background Respiratory infections are among the leading causes of death and disability globally. Respirable aerosol particles released by agricultural crop-residue burning (ACRB), practised by farmers in all global regions, are potentially harmful to human health. Our objective was to estimate the health and economic costs of ACRB in northern India. Methods The primary outcome was acute respiratory infection (ARI) from India’s fourth District Level Health Survey (DLHS-4). DLHS-4 data were merged with Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer satellite data on fire occurrence. Mutually adjusted generalized linear models were used to generate risk ratios for risk factors of ARI. Overall disease burden due to ACRB was estimated in terms of disability-adjusted life years. Results Seeking medical treatment for ARI in the previous 2 weeks was reported by 5050 (2%) of 252 539 persons. Living in a district with intense ACRB—the top quintile of fires per day—was associated with a 3-fold higher risk of ARI (mutually adjusted risk ratio 2.99, 95% confidence interval 2.77 to 3.23) after adjustment for socio-demographic and household factors. Children under 5 years of age were particularly susceptible (3.65, 3.06 to 4.34 in this subgroup). Additional ARI risk factors included motor-vehicle congestion (1.96, 1.72 to 2.23), open drainage (1.91, 1.73 to 2.11), cooking with biomass (1.73, 1.58 to 1.90) and living in urban areas (1.35, 1.26 to 1.44). Eliminating ACRB would avert 14.9 million disability-adjusted life years lost per year, valued at US$152.9 billion over 5 years. Conclusions Investments to stop crop burning and offer farmers alternative crop-residue disposal solutions are likely to improve population-level respiratory health and yield major economic returns.

Abstract Background Acute Respiratory infection accounts for 94,037000 disability adjusted life years and 1.9 million deaths worldwide. Acute respiratory infections is the most common causes of under-five illness and mortality. The under five children gets three to six episodes of acute respiratory infections annually regardless of where they live. Disease burden due to acute respiratory infection is 10–50 times higher in developing countries when compared to developed countries. The aim of this study was to assess risk factors of acute respiratory infection among under-five children attending Public hospitals in Southern Tigray, Ethiopia 2016/2017. Methods Institution based case control study was conducted from Nov 2016 to June 2017. Interviewer administered structured questionnaire was used to collect data from a sample of 288 (96 cases and 192 controls) children under 5 years of age. Systematic random sampling was used to recruit study subjects and SPSS version 20 was used to analyze the data. Bivariate and multivariate analysis were employed to examine statistical association between the outcome variable and selected independent variables at 95% confidence level. Level of statistical Significance was declared at p < 0.05. Tables, figures and texts were used to present data. Result One hundred sixty (55.6%) and 128 (44.4%) of the participants were males and females respectively. Malnutrition (AOR = 2.89; 95%CI: 1.584–8.951; p = 0.039), cow dung use (AOR =2.21; 95%CI: 1.121–9.373; p = 0.014), presence of smoker in the family (AOR = 0.638; 95% CI: 0.046–0.980; p = 0.042) and maternal literacy (AOR = 3.098; 95%CI: 1.387–18.729; p = 0.021) were found to be significant predictors of acute respiratory infection among under five children. Conclusion According to this study maternal literacy, smoking, cow dung use and nutritional status were strongly associated with increased risk of childhood acute respiratory infection. Health care providers should work jointly with the general public, so that scientific knowledge and guidelines for adopting particular preventive measures for acute respiratory infection are disseminated.

Acute respiratory infections are cause by bacterial, fungal or viral infections of the respiratory tract. Very young and older aged people are most vulnerable of these infections lead to difficulties from fever, cough, nasal discharge, sputum production, fatigue, wheezing, pain on swallowing, at times ear infections and meningitis. With huge number of Rohingya influx in Bangladesh, camps are overly crowded allowing many infectious diseases to transmit easily. Although there are researches that have been conducted in this area, there remains a huge gap of research in these camps where children being vulnerable are mostly suffering from respiratory disease such as Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI). This cross-sectional study investigated the risk factors associated with ARI among children less than 10 years in Rohingya refugee camps. After collecting information based on their demographic, anthropometric, history of respiratory problem, accommodation and nutritional status, it was found that about 21.6% of 259 children under this study had symptoms of ARI. Living in congested housing and with lack of nutritious food children were found negatively associated with ARI.

It is proved that intrauterine infections influence negatively on the period of pregnancy, the condition of fetus and newborn on the example of isolated, chlamydeous and chlamydeous-virus infections. The schemes of treatment of pregnant women in these groups are determined. It is revealed that the percentage of the possibility and the degree of heaviness of intrauterine infection is lowing if the newborn were born by women who got the treatment in the period of pregnancy.
