Abstract

Respiratory system diseases are the most common diseases in childhood. Theycan be examined in three groups such as infections, wheezy infant and allergic diseases. Bacterial or viral originated acute infections are more common in the schoolaged group. Tuberculosis as a chronic infection is still a common healthproblem. Although acute wheezing occurs as a result of viral infection, persistentand recurrent cases may be the sign of anatomic disorder or concomitant asthma.Coexisting diseases such as allergic rhinitis affecting upper respiratory tract andasthma lower are the allergic respiratory diseases with chronic courses. Treatmentof concomitant disease and to be in good coordination of the family, increase thechance of successful treatment of these diseases which is planned due to the severity of the disease.

Çocuklarda Solunum Yolu Hastalıkları

Abstract

Öz

Çocuklarda en sık görülen hastalıklar, solunum yolu hastalıklarıdır. Genel olarak enfeksiyonlar, hışıltılı bebek ve alerjik hastalıklar olarak üç ana grupta inceleyebiliriz. Akut enfeksiyonlar, okul dönemlerinde çok yaygındır. Bakteriyel veya viral etkenli olabilir. Kronik enfeksiyon olarak tüberküloz; halen bir sorun olarak yaşanmaktadır. Hışıltılı bebek; bazen basit bir viral enfeksiyon belirtisidir. Sürekli olması halinde anatomik bir bozukluk veya ilerde başlayacak bir astımın ön belirtisi olabilir. Alerjik solunum yolu hastalıkları, kronik seyirlidir. Üst solunum yolunda alerjik rinit, alt solunum yolunda astım şeklinde görülür. Çoğu zaman birlikte görülür. Hastalığın şiddetine göre tedavi düzenlenir. Eşlik eden hastalığın tedavisi, aile ile uyumi çinde olmak, tedavide başarı şansını artırır.
