Article Extract
Acute respiratory infections (ARIs) are divided into those of the upper respiratory tract, such as tonsillitis/pharyngitis, sinusitis, otitis media and the common cold, and those of the lower respiratory tract, such as acute bronchitis. These infections involve acute mucosal inflammation, oedema and mucus hypersecretion. Symptoms include cough, fever, congestion, increased secretions and discharge, and sore throat. The majority of ARIs are caused by viruses and are self-limited.
