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.
尽管呼吸道感染是最常见的儿童疾病，但它们仍然是一些最不为人所了解的疾病。随着病毒被确定为大多数呼吸道疾病的病因以及开展了对照流行病学研究，对急性呼吸道感染的认识正在逐渐增加。然而，在临床上区分细菌感染和病毒感染以及评估宿主与病原体的相互作用方面仍然存在问题。
