Etiology and Clinical Prediction of Community-Acquired Lower Respiratory Tract Infection in Children.
J Korean Med Sci
January 2025
Department of Pediatrics, Seoul National University Bundang Hospital and Seoul National University College of Medicine, Seongnam, Korea.
Background: Community acquired lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) is a leading cause for hospitalization in children and important cause for antibiotic prescription. We aimed to describe the aetiology of LRTI in children and analyse factors associated with bacterial or viral infection.
Methods: Patients aged < 19 years with a diagnosis of LRTI were identified from the Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership Common Data Model Database of Seoul National University Bundang Hospital from January 2005-July 2019, and their clinical characteristics were obtained from the electronic medical records and retrospectively reviewed.

Article Synopsis
- Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) poses a major health risk for older adults (aged ≥ 50 years) globally, particularly leading to serious respiratory infections with high rates of morbidity and mortality, especially in the Asia-Pacific region.
- Current understanding of RSV's impact on older populations is limited, with infection rates among these individuals ranging from 0.2% to 5.6%, and it often presents symptoms like cough, fever, and underlying health issues.
- Treatment mainly involves supportive care, with a focus on new antivirals and the recent approval of a vaccine for those 60 and older, highlighting the need for continued research and effective preventive strategies.
