Unlabelled: To compare the difference between primary homoeopathic and conventional paediatric care in treating acute illnesses in children in their first 24 months of life.

In the homoeopathic group, conventional medical treatment was added when medically indicated.

Article Synopsis
  • - SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant shows reduced clinical severity, prompting research into how its interactions with the respiratory tract affect this difference in pathogenicity.
  • - In lab tests with human nasal and lung tissues, Omicron's replication in lung tissues is much more restricted compared to Delta and earlier variants, while remaining similar in nasal tissues.
  • - Omicron triggers a stronger antiviral interferon response in lung tissues than Delta and earlier variants, suggesting that this enhanced immune response contributes to its lower severity; blocking this immune response can allow greater replication of Omicron in lungs.

The spectrum of COVID-19 symptoms is broad, ranging from a mild, self-limiting respiratory tract illness to severe progressive pneumonia, multi-organ failure and possible death.
