“…For this reason, fever might be associated with the viruses causing RTI rather than specifically with AOM. 17,25 The occurrence, duration, and severity of nonspecific symptoms were equal in children with and without AOM. Nonspecific symptoms occur during viral infections, and frequently with no infection, in young children.…”

“…There are difficulties in distinguishing viral from bacterial pneumonia; even radiology seems to be of little help. [2][3][4][5] Wheeze is more commonly associated with a viral infection, especially respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). 6 7 Children with wheeze can have fast breathing and lower chest indrawing, which can place them in the category of non-severe and severe pneumonia according to the current ARI case management guidelines.…”

Background and Aims: Using current WHO guidelines, children with wheezing are being over prescribed antibiotics and bronchodilators are underutilised. To improve the WHO case management guidelines, more data is needed about the clinical outcome in children with wheezing/pneumonia overlap. Methodology: In a multicentre prospective study, children aged 1-59 months with auscultatory/audible wheeze and fast breathing and/or lower chest indrawing were screened. Response to up to three cycles of inhaled salbutamol was recorded. The responders were enrolled and sent home on inhaled bronchodilators, and followed up on days 3 and 5. Results: A total of 1622 children with wheeze were screened from May 2001 to April 2002, of which 1004 (61.8%) had WHO defined non-severe and 618 (38.2%) severe pneumonia. Wheeze was audible in only 595 (36.7%) of children. Of 1004 non-severe pneumonia children, 621 (61.8%) responded to up to three cycles of bronchodilator. Of 618 severe pneumonia children, only 166 (26.8%) responded. Among responders, 93 (14.9%) in the non-severe and 63 (37.9%) children in the severe pneumonia group showed subsequent deterioration on follow ups. No family history of wheeze, temperature .100˚F, and lower chest indrawing were identified as predictors of subsequent deterioration. Conclusions: Two third of children with wheeze are not identified by current WHO ARI (acute respiratory infections) guidelines. Antibiotics are over prescribed and bronchodilators under utilised in children with wheeze. Children with wheeze constitute a special ARI group requiring a separate management algorithm. In countries where wheeze is common it would be worthwhile to train health workers in use of the stethoscope to identify wheeze.

“…It has been reported that patient temperatures >39 • C were more common with influenza A than with influenza B virus infection, 10 but another study reported that there was no temperature difference between the two groups. 11 Other studies reported that influenza B virus caused less severe fever compared to influenza A virus, but the temperature difference between influenza A and B virus infections in children was relatively small.…”
