INTRODUCTION- I
Viruses
Epidemiology
Prevalence. The average incidence of all acute URIs is five to seven per
child per year. It is estimated that children have one streptococcal infection
every 4 to 5 years. Group A streptococci is isolated in 30-36.8% of children
with pharyngitis.
Etiology
Viruses are isolated in about 50% of children less than 2 years old but
infrequently after that.
Contact
All respiratory agents are spread by close contact or large droplets, with the
exception of influenza, which also is spread by small droplets and the
airborne route.
A history of a household, school, or outside contact with another patient who
has tonsillopharyngitis due to a known agent, especially the group A
Streptococcus, increases the likelihood that the index infection has the same
etiology.

Specific Objectives:
Specifically
The upper respiratory tract primarily refers to the parts of the respiratory
system lying outside of the thorax or above the sternal angle. Another
definition commomly used in medicine is the airway above the glottis or
vocal cords. Some specify that the glottis (vocal cords) is the defining line
between the upper and lower respiratory tracts; yet even others make the
line at the cricoid cartilage..
Upper respiratory tract infections are amongst the most common infections
in the world.
NASAL CAVITY: A large fluid filled space above and behind the nose in the
middle of the face.
PHARYNX: The part of the neck and throat situated immediately posterior
to (behind) the mouth and nasal cavity, and cranial, or superior, to the
esophagus, larynx, and trachea.
OROPHARYNX: Reaches from the Uvula to the level of the hyoid bone. It
opens anteriorly, through the isthmus faucium, into the mouth, while in its
lateral wall, between the two palatine arches, is the palatine tonsil.
