Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how common atopy is in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and to analyze their clinical and lab profiles.
- 149 outpatients with stable COPD participated, providing information through questionnaires and undergoing various medical tests like skin prick tests and nasal lavage cytology.
- Findings showed a significant portion of these patients exhibited signs of atopy, highlighting a connection between nasal inflammation and respiratory function, suggesting that monitoring upper airway inflammation could aid in understanding respiratory issues, particularly in older patients with both asthma and COPD.
Objective: To estimate the clinical failure and adverse events in children with nonsevere pneumonia receiving amoxicillin, identifying risk factors.
Research Design/methods: 192 patients aged 2 - 59 months were prospectively followed up. Pneumonia diagnosis was based on respiratory complaints and radiographic pulmonary infiltrate or pleural effusion.
