A retrospective study of two-weekly incidence of acute respiratory infections (ARI) in the under-five children of rural area of Alwar District (Rajasthan) based on the previous fourteen days' recall by the mothers was undertaken during December 1989 to assess the magnitude of the problem and its' risk factors. The two-weekly ARI incidence was reported to be 33 episodes per 100 under-fives. Mothers in higher socio-economic strata reported higher incidence of ARI for their children due to more accurate recall. Majority of ARI cases (76 per cent) were found to be of mild degree. 26 per cent of deaths in under-fives during the previous year were reported to be ARI-related. 50 per cent of ARI cases were left untreated. Among the treated group, private practitioners were found to be the main source of health care.
1989年12月，基于母亲对前十四天情况的回忆，对阿尔瓦尔地区（拉贾斯坦邦）农村地区五岁以下儿童急性呼吸道感染（ARI）的两周发病率进行了一项回顾性研究，以评估该问题的严重程度及其风险因素。据报告，五岁以下儿童的两周ARI发病率为每100名儿童中有33例。社会经济地位较高阶层的母亲报告其子女的ARI发病率较高，原因是回忆更准确。发现大多数ARI病例（76%）为轻度。据报告，上一年五岁以下儿童死亡中有26%与ARI有关。50%的ARI病例未得到治疗。在接受治疗的组中，私人执业医生是主要的医疗保健来源。
