Çocukluk çağının en sık enfeksiyon grubunu oluşturan alt solunum yolu enfeksiyonlarından (ASYE) sıklıkla viral etkenler sorumlu tutulur. Bunlar arasında Influenza, Parainfluenza, Adenovirüsler ve Respiratuar sinsityel virüs (RSV) yer alır. Son yıllarda, ASYE bulguları olanlarda metapnömovirüs, avian influenza A, H5N1, SARS coronavirüs gibi yeni etkenler saptanmıştır. Paramiksovirüs ailesinden bir RNA virüs olan metapnömovirus, özellikle tropikal ülkelerde ilkbahar ve yaz aylarında sık saptanır. Hem üst hem de alt solunum yolunu ilgilendiren bulgular ile ortaya çıkabilir. RNA virüsü olan Coronavirüsler, sıklıkla ASYE, daha nadiren ise ÜSYE bulguları ile ortaya çıkabilir. SARS (Severe acute respiratory syndrome-ağır akut solunum yetmezliği sendromu), corona virüs ailesine aittir. Küçük DNA virüslerden olan polyomavirüsler ise, asemptomatik gidişten ağrı ASYE bulguları olan klinik tabloya kadar geniş bir yelpazeye neden olurlar. Bocavirusler ise parvovirüs ailesinden olan alt solunum yolu enfeksiyon etkenleridir. İnfluenza ise, H1N1 ve H5N1 gibi farklı serotipleri nedeni ile epidemi ve pandemi nedeni olabilen solunum yolu enfeksiyon etkenidir.Sonuç olarak, ASYE’larının klinik bulguları ve prognozu çoğunlukla nonspesifik olmakla birlikte, etiyolojik etken ile ilişkilidir. Bu nedenle, etken olan ajanlarla ilgili prevalans ve insidansın daha net olarak ortaya çıkarılması için çalışmalara gereksinim vardır.

Viral etiological agents are commonly encountered in lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI) that comprise the most common infectious disease group of childhood. These agents include Influenza, Parainfluenza, Adenoviruses and Respiratory syncitial viruses (RSV). Recently, new etiological agents such as metapneumovirus, avian influenza A, H5N1 and SARS coronaviruses have been detected in children with LRTI findings. Metapneumovirus, which is an RNA virus member of the Paramyxovirus family, is commonly encountered in tropical countries during spring and summer. It might present with symptoms involving both upper and lower respiratory tract. Coronaviruses that are RNA viruses present commonly with LRTIs but rarely may cause upper respiratory tract findings. SARS (Severe acute respiratory syndrome) belongs to the corona virus family. Polyomaviruses that are small DNA viruses cause a wide spectrum of clinical findings that range from aseymtpomatic infection to severe LRTI findings. Bocaviruses from Parvovirus family are other LRTI etiologic agents. Influenza viruses are LRTI agents that may lead to epidemics and pandemics due to their different serotypes like H1N1 and H5N1. In conclusion, clinical findings and prognosis of LRTIs, though usually nonspecific, depend on the etiological agent. Therefore, further research is required to identify prevalence and incidence of these etiological agents

The publication language of Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease is English.
Manuscripts submitted to the Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease will go through a double-blind peer-review process. Each submission will be reviewed by at least two external, independent peer reviewers who are experts in the field, in order to ensure an unbiased evaluation process. The editorial board will invite an external and independent editor to manage the evaluation processes of manuscripts submitted by editors or by the editorial board members of the journal. The Editor in Chief is the final authority in the decision-making process for all submissions. Articles accepted for publication in the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics are put in the order of publication, with at least 10 original articles in each issue, taking into account the acceptance dates. If the articles sent to the reviewers for evaluation are assessed as a senior for publication by the reviewers, the section editor and the editor considering all aspects (originality, high scientific quality and citation potential), it receives publication priority in addition to the articles assigned for the next issue.
The aim of the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics is to publish high-quality original research articles that will contribute to the international literature in the field of general pediatric health and diseases and its sub-branches. It also publishes editorial opinions, letters to the editor, reviews, case reports, book reviews, comments on previously published articles, meeting and conference proceedings, announcements, and biography. In addition to the field of child health and diseases, the journal also includes articles prepared in fields such as surgery, dentistry, public health, nutrition and dietetics, social services, human genetics, basic sciences, psychology, psychiatry, educational sciences, sociology and nursing, provided that they are related to this field. can be published.
