Abstract:

Purpose: Acute sub- respiratory infection (ALRTI) is the cause of hospitalization in infants under the age of 5. Mostly, alveals and bronchial infections are responsible for 90% of deaths caused by respiratory diseases. The aim of this study is to study the epidemicology, clinical findings and methods of treatment of respiratory viruses detected with real-time PCR. Instruments and Methods: A total of 235 children between January 2014 and December 2018 who were hospitalized due to ALRTI and with positive PCR results for respiratory viruses in 1-24 months were included in the study. Demographic data, clinical findings, laboratory tests, treatment modalities, high-frequency nasal canal (HFNC) or mechanical ventilation needs, the duration of stay in the hospital and the need for treatment in the child intensive care unit (CYBB) were recorded. Results: In total, 55.5% of children were male and the average age was 6.1±6 months. Respiratory sinsityal virus (RSV) was present in 106, rhinovirus in 35, influenza in 23, and other viruses in 71 remaining. There was a significant seasonal difference between the various theologies. Fever influenza, multiple viral infections, adenovirus and human metapnomevirus (HMPV) patients were present. There was no significant difference in physical examination between patients with cough, eating difficulties or lethargy. The number of WBCs increased due to adenovirus and HMPV infection; however, the differences in CRP, MPV and eozinofilide were not meaningful. According to viral etiology, there was no meaningful difference between the findings of lung graphics and medical treatment. Fourteen patients were monitored. Although influenza was only a third-party etiology, it was an acceptable cause for CYBB. The result: RSV remains an important viral etiology for hospitalization in children under two years of age. Influenza is a virus that needs to be monitored in CYBB. The common vaccination against flu is associated with a decrease in ASYE in children.
