Acute respiratory infection and the efficacy of bronchovaxom for preventive treatment

Background:Respiratory infection is a disease which the incidence and mortality rank highest among children diseases under 5 years old. The reasons caused respiratory infection are virus, bacterium and parasite. H.Influenzae, St.pneumoniae and M.Cataralis are the main reason leading to respiratory infection. Objectives:This study aims to research on the efficacy of Bronchovaxom in reducing the rate of acute respiratory infection in children. Subjects and method:A descriptive, prospective and cohort study was conducted on 60 patients was used Bronchovaxom for two times with the 6 months of interval in the National Hospital for Pediatric from January 2006 to September 2007. Results:Among the first selection 60 children, 15 children stopped to participate in the study. The age ranged from 32 months to 88 months, the mean age was 55.4 months. Male was 30 (66.7%); female was 15 ( 33.3%). 100% were injected vaccination. There was a clear reduction in the incidence. The frequency of antibiotic use was also reduced. In particular, increased level of IgA in the patient's saliva following treatment with Bronchovaxom. Conclusion:There was a significantly statistical difference on the times of acute recurrentrespiratory infection in one year on the same patient before and after using Bronchovaxom.

Study on the suggested features and marks for diagnosis of the missing foreign body in respiratory tract, a comon cause of the relapsed bronchopneumonia in children

A study on 21 cases of the missing foreign body in respiratory tract caused the relapsed bronchopneumonia in 98 children admitted to the Institute of pediatry during 6/1998- 6/2000 diagnosed by the broncho-endoscopy has shown that the missing foreign body was an important and common cause of the relapsed bronchopneumonia in male children with ages of 1-5. The foreign bodies located mainly in the right broncho- alveolar, especially anterior basal branch of hyporterial bronchus. They had a less photo absorption property and usually are seeds. The clinical symptoms were long-lasting cough, productive cough, bleeding cough. The pathological respiratory sound in brochus with foreign body clearlier than this in the normal side. The organic foreign bodies cause the more severe infection and many times of relapses.

Pneumonia associated with near-drowning

This study was carried out on 24 children with near-drowning admitted to the Institute of Pediatric during 1/1998 - 6/2000 to find the epidemiological factors, clinical profile and common cause of pneumonia associated with near-drowning. The results have shown that most of children with near-drowning were male children with ages of 6-9 who lived in the country side and can not swim. The accidents occurred mainly during 3 months holiday. The water resources in ponds and lakes were polluted serious. The levels of pneumonia lesion associated with near-drowning was usually severe: 10/24 (42%) children suffered the respiratory impairment when admitting to hospital. The direct cause of pneumonia was negative gram microbials related with polluted water resources where children suffered from the near-drowning.

Clinical features in 54 pediatric patients with recurrent pneumo-bronchitis admitted to the Pediatric Insititute between January 1998 and December 1998

Total of 54 patients were diagnosed with pneumo-bronchitis using conventional and WHO 1990’s criteria. It is found that the younger the children with recurrent pneumo-bronchitis are, the more severe the status of admission is and the more rapidly the disease progresses. Clinical symptoms of patients do not depend on age. Clinical symptoms that have predictive value are cyanosis, contraction of thorax, bleeding cough, wheezing and neural dysfunction.
