Abstract

Objective: To identify risk factors for acute respiratory infection in children. Method: Descriptive documentary. Conclusion: Acute respiratory infections in children represent a significant challenge in terms of morbidity, due to the diversity of risk factors involved, such as viral and bacterial co-infections, antimicrobial resistance and seasonal variations. Early identification of these factors, together with the use of advanced molecular techniques for diagnosis, is essential to improve clinical management and reduce severe complications, such as bronchiolitis obliterans.
