Abstract
Acute respiratory infection is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in children worldwide. Four million children under five years of age die from respiratory infections each year (Douglas and Kerby-Eaton, 1985; Leowski, 1986; Garenne, Ronsmans, and Campbell, 1992) and most of the deaths are due to acute lower respiratory infection (ALRI), primarily pneumonia (Garenne, Ronsmans, and Campbell, 1992).
急性呼吸道感染是全世界儿童发病和死亡的主要原因。每年有400万五岁以下儿童死于呼吸道感染(Douglas and Kerby-Eaton, 1985年;Leowski, 1986;Garenne, Ronsmans, and Campbell, 1992),大多数死亡是由于急性下呼吸道感染(ALRI),主要是肺炎(Garenne, Ronsmans, and Campbell, 1992)。
