Popis: Due to the widespread prevalence of ARI, its treatment and prevention remain a relevant issue. Even mild ARI may cause exacerbation of a chronic disease. The economic damage to the state equals $ 1.6 billion each year. ARI distribution pattern dictates the need to isolate the child from the ill person or the potential source of infection. There are a number of vaccines against certain pathogens causing ARI; bacterial vaccines are widely used; interferon prophylaxis is recommended to children with a history of premorbid conditions, who just started to attend child care centers, and during flu epidemics. The effectiveness of some prevention methods may cause doubts. We should not forget about alternative methods of improving child's resistance to infectious agents and cold training.
