[Microbiological studies on nursery children susceptible to infections].
In a microbiological paper from 1986 to 1988 dealing with 76 children aged from 13 to 36 months in 8 crèches of a large town, it could be found that 24 of these children were susceptible to infections and it is established that there were 3-9 bacteria per child. The most important bacteria were: Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, haemolytic streptococci. But bacteria of the catarrhal group played a certain role, too. In 8 of these children dispositional factors and factors caused by exterior conditions of life (risk factors) could be shown, in 50% out of them a prolonged convalescence and in 50% after 4 weeks a reinfection after acute respiratory disease (ARD). The course of phases of ARD (initial phase, 2. and 4. week of convalescence) is introduced from microbiological view at all children. We point out the meaning of microbiological diagnostics with subsequent aiming sanitation by children susceptible to infections with risk factors.
