[Hospital respiratory infections in children].
Acute respiratory superinfections (ARS) induced by secondary nosocomial respiratory pathogens and characterized by the subsequent generalization of the process have been reported as one of the main contributions to pediatric inpatient mortality. The recurrent infections were observed in all types of hospitals; they might be induced by the whole group of respiratory pathogens, but adeno-, coronaviral and pneumococcal ones are predominating. The ARS clinical picture showed various patterns determined both by the etiology of basic and recurrent infection and by a child's immunity. There was a correlation between the severity of ARS and the level of specific immunoglobulins, especially of secretory origin.
