Although respiratory infections are the commonest childhood diseases, they remain some of the most poorly understood. With identification of viruses as the causes of most respiratory diseases as well as controlled epidemiological studies, the understanding to acute respiratory infections is gradually increasing. Problems still exist, however, in clinically differentiating bacterial from viral infections and in evaluation the host-organism interaction.
