Rapid detection of infectious agents has recently received a lot of interest. The aim of this article is to review its various aspects in terms of real impact on the medical handling of the infected patient as well as economical impact. Few examples are developed in detail, including technical strategies: sexually transmitted diseases due to Chlamydia trachomatis; gastroenteritis due to rotavirus and adenovirus, bacterial pneumonia and meningitis, and acute tonsillitis due to beta-hemolytic group A streptococci.

To understand the febrile children in clinic practice, 3793 cases had been collected from our emergency unit from December 1984 to December 1985. Of them, 2841 (74.9%) were febrile with a male to female ratio of 3:2. Concerning age distribution, 22% were younger than 6 months, 21.5% between 7 months and 1 year, 17.6% 1-2 years and 38.9% older than 2 years. Cases happened most in February, followed by July. In these febrile children, the axillary temperature was 37.1-37.9 C in 778 cases (27.4%), 38-38.9 C in 1118 cases (39.3%), 39-39.9 C in 846 cases (29.8%), 40-40.9 C in 91 cases (3.2%), and 41-41.9 C in 8 cases (0.3). Convulsion associated with fever were noted in 112 cases (3.9%). Of them, axillary temperature was 37.1-37.9 C in 30 cases (3.9%), 38-38.9 C in 29 cases (2.6%), 39-39.9 C in 42 cases (4.9%), 40-40.9 C in 6 cases (6.6%), and 41-41.9 C in 5 cases (62.5%). Clinical diagnosis included acute pharyngitis (1125 cases, 39.6%), acute bronchitis (515, 18.1%), acute bronchiolitis (232, 8.2%), acute gastroenteritis (235, 8.3%), bronchopneumonia (159, 5.6%), acute tonsillitis (135, 4.7%), sepsis (88, 3.1%), and others (352, 12.4%). In conclusion, most emergency called children had fever. The underlying disease to induce fever is most frequently the respiratory tract infection. The possibility of convulsion increase with the rising of body temperature.

SY5555 in dry syrup (powder which is dissolved before use) or tablet form was given orally to 21 children with acute bacterial infections including 4 with acute pharyngitis, 5 with acute tonsillitis, 7 with acute bronchitis, 2 with acute gastroenteritis, 1 each with scarlet fever, acute lymphadenitis and urinary tract infection. Good to excellent clinical responses were obtained in all of the 21 patients and 8 of 11 strains found as causative organisms in these cases were eradicated and 3 strains were decreased. Loose stools were observed in 3 cases and eosinophilia was observed in 1 case. From the above clinical results, it appears that SY5555 is a useful antibiotic for the treatment of pediatric patients with various bacterial infections.
