Acute respiratory infections (ARIs) are the leading cause of infectious disease–related morbidity, hospitalization, and morbidity among children worldwide. This study aimed to assess the viral and bacterial causes of ARI morbidity and mortality in children under 5 years in Senegal. Nasopharyngeal samples were collected from children under 5 years who had ARI. Viruses and bacteria were identified using multiplex real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and conventional biochemical techniques, respectively. Adenovirus was the most prevalent virus (50%; n = 81), followed by influenza virus (45.68%, n = 74), rhinovirus (40.12%; n = 65), enterovirus (25.31%; n = 41), and respiratory syncytial virus (16.05%; n = 26), whereas Streptococcus pneumoniae (17%; n = 29), Moraxella catarrhalis (15.43%; n = 25), and Haemophilus influenzae (8.02%; n = 13) were the most commonly isolated bacteria. Virus pathogens seem more likely to be more prevalent in our settings and were often associated with bacteria and S. pneumoniae (6%; 16) coinfection.

“…Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenza, members of the Enterobacteriaceae family, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus spp are the most common communityacquired agents, while Acinetobacter baumannii i s encountered with increased resistance rates especially in hospital-acquired infections. 1,2 Lower respiratory tract infections are the most common bacterial infection in the intensive care unit (ICU) patient population, occuring in 10-25% of all ICU patients and resulting in mortality rates of 22-71%. 3,4 The presence of underlying comorbidities, invasive procedures, prolonged hospitalisation and the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics in ICU patients make them more susceptible to infections.…”

Objective: In this study, we aimed to guide clinicians in planning empirical treatment and contribute to regional data by presenting bacterial lower respiratory tract infection agents and antibiotic resistance profiles. Methods: All lower respiratory tract samples from patients admitted to our laboratory between January 01 and December 31, 2021 were evaluated retrospectively. Bacterial identification and susceptibility tests were performed using the VITEK 2 automated system and evaluated in accordance with the recommendations of the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST). Results: Significant growth was detected in 461 of 923 lower respiratory tract samples. Antibiotic susceptibility test results of 340 samples were evaluated after excluding the repeated samples of same patient. Gram negative bacteria was isolated in 309 (90.9%), Staphylococcus aureus in 17 (5%) and Candida albicans in 14 (4.1%) of 340 samples. The most frequently isolated Gram-negative bacteria were Pseudomonas aeruginosa (121, 39.2%), Acinetobacter baumannii (88, 28.5%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (64, 20.7%) and Escherichia coli (36, 11.6%), respectively. Resistance rates of A. baumannii isolates to carbapenems, piperacillin/tazobactam, ceftazidime and fluoroquinolones were found to be over 90%, and higher resistance was observed in intensive care units (ICU) than in wards. Conclusion: The increased antibiotic resistance observed in lower respiratory tract infections from hospitalized patients in ICUs, is remarkable. As a result, knowing the causative agents and current resistance profiles is important, especially for hospitalized patients in ICUs, in order to initiate appropriate empirical treatment and to ensure treatment success. The data obtained from our study will guide clinicians in planning empirical treatment.

“…Pathogens associated with ARI include pneumococcal bacteria [6] and tuberculosis, as well as influenza and parainfluenza viruses, rhinovirus, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) which are still a global health problem [7]. Coronavirus disease (COVID- 19), which first appeared in China, has become a major health threat and works by attacking the immune system.…”

Introduction: The incidence of acute respiratory infections (ARI) tends to be higher in urban areas, especially in Jakarta, the centre of activity in Indonesia. However, the COVID-19 pandemic forced people to wear masks in both urban and rural areas to prevent the virus from entering the respiratory tract. The purpose of this study was to identify the relationship between mask-wearing behaviour and outbreaks of acute respiratory infections during the COVID-19 pandemic among students in Jakarta. Methods: The design of this study was cross-sectional. The consecutive sampling technique was used to select 328 students as the respondents. The independent variable was mask-wearing behaviour (knowledge, attitude, practice). The dependent variable was ARI. The data were collected using a Google Forms questionnaire and then analysed by using the Chi-square test and multiple logistic regression test with a significance level of p < 0.05. Results: The result showed that respondents had good knowledge (57%), positive attitude (56.7%), good practice (50.6%), and did not have a history of ISPA (64.3%). The predictive factors affecting ARI showed significant results in the attitude domain (p <0.05; OR 1.907). Conclusion: This study found a connection between mask-wearing behaviour and knowledge, attitude, and practice to prevent ARI. We propose normalizing the use of masks even though the number of COVID-19 infections is gradually decreasing to prevent respiratory infections caused by the high rate of air pollution in urban areas.
