In the study and incidence of measles complications in the respiratory tract was analyzed in patients hospitalized in the Department of Infectious Diseases CSK WAM in 1972-1992 because of measles. In this period the (equal?) epidemiology of disease was observed in 1989/1990. In 17% hospitalized patients pharyngitis and/or pneumonia were observed as a typical complications of measles. High percentage of complications without consequences was probably connected with virus mechanism of infection.

The upper respiratory tract infections are the most frequent infectious diseases in human. Beta haemolytic streptococcus group A is the most common etiologic factor of bacterial pharyngitis. Delayed or inadequate treatment of streptococcal pharyngitis can cause serious subsequent complications. Only a part of patients show typical features of the disease so that the diagnosis can be based on clinical appearance alone. For this reason we propose direct antigen test as a rapid useful method which allows detection of group A streptococci in throat swabs. The aim of the study is to estimate clinical value of rapid antigen test in differential diagnosis of pharyngitis in children and adults. We have performed 50 tests using commercial kit--Abbott Test Pack Strep A. Simultaneously conventional bacterial throat cultures were performed. The comparison of results acquired by both methods did not revealed any differences.

Two cases of tubulointerstitial nephritis (TIN) with renal failure related to immunotherapy (case 1) and immunostimulation (case 2) have been described. Case 1: 18 years old male patient with hay fever was admitted because of rapid increase of serum creatinine from 1.1 mg/dl to 5.5 mg/dl, fever, weight loss and anemia which developed during 6 months after second course of immunotherapy. Case 2: 12 years old boy was admitted because of fever, weight loss and rapid progression to renal failure after treatment of pharyngitis with antibiotics and immunostimulant drug. In both patients renal biopsy was performed and TIN with huge lymphocytes T infiltrates was diagnosed. After 6 months treatment with corticosteroids renal function turned back to previous levels in both patients. Pathogenesis and treatment of TIN is discussed.

The aim of the study was to estimate value of cytological examination of the pharynx in persons after tonsillectomy. The study was performed in 165 patients aged 15-53 years, who were operated between 1987-1997. Based on the own cytological criteria we were found atrophic pharyngitis in 71.5% of cases. The results were compared to the effects of control group. The authors indicate usefulness of such diagnostics, especially before decision of surgical treatment.

Gastroesophageal reflux (GER) plays an important role in pathogenesis of recurrent/chronic disorders of the respiratory tract. Atypical symptoms of GER can be suggested to be cause of the otorhinolaryngological problems. For these last manifestations no cause-effect relationship has yet been proven. There are many therapeutic studies, in which treatment of GERD is examined for its impact on coexisting respiratory disorders. The aim of our study was to confirm the presence of acid reflux by using 24-hour intraesophageal pH monitoring. From the group of 29 patients with recurrent episodes of the pharyngitis, laryngitis and tracheitis, we evaluated 18 children aged 3 months to 8 years (mean, 4.23 +/- 2.85) with coexisting reflux symptoms. The protocol included a parenteral interview, physical examination, roentgenograms of the chest and larynx, laryngoscopy, as well as 24-hour simultaneous proximal and distal esophageal pH monitoring. The most significant differences between examined patients and control subjects was noted in terms of the lowest pH value, number of reflux episodes and index reflux while pH dropped below 4. Every significant drop under pH 6 recorded in proximal esophagus was simultaneous with reflux episode in distal esophagus. We found increased both sensitivity and specificity of the simultaneous pH monitoring in the distal and proximal part of the esophagus comparing to monitoring by the single probe. We confirmed the presence of gastroesophagopharyngeal reflux in patients with recurrent disorders of pharynx, larynx and/or trachea.

The signs and symptoms of acute pharyngitis was described, and principles of diagnostic and therapeutic approach was discussed, concentrating on differentiation between the various forms of virus and bacterial pharyngitis. The economical and clinical importance of rational diagnosis of acute pharyngitis was pointed out, in aspect of antibiotic prescribing limited to acute streptococcal tonsillitis.

The aim of this study is to assess the impact of some selected bacteriological factors on the occurrence of subglottic laryngitis in children. The research covered 72 children hospitalized in the Children's Hospital in Warsaw with the following symptoms: dry barking cough, stridor, inspiratory dyspnoea with the participation of auxiliary respiratory muscles, agitation and change of colour of skin. Subglottic laryngitis is one of the acute children's diseases, directly caused by a violently growing odema of the subglottic area. The disease constitutes 5-8% of all severe airways inflammations and states that subglottic laryngitis is responsible for 6.5% off all lower airways inflammation cases. Based on preliminary examinations, the patients were divided into two groups--one of them composed of 41 patients with simultaneous atopy, the other--of 31 patients with no atopy symptoms. The examination of each patient included subjective, objective (pediatric and laryngological) and auxiliary (primary-blood cell count, OB and specialized-bacteriological tests) examinations. Own research showed that out of 72 patients with subglottic laryngitis 56.95% had bacterial symptoms. 90.32% in non atopic group have higher NBT test, in atopic children it was 39.02%. We observed that 50.51% of the patients suffering from subglottic laryngitis had an inflammation of upper airways (otitis media, rhinitis, pharyngitis) and 13.89% of lower respiratory tract (bronchitis, pneumonitis). Many authors incline to say that bacteria may be a conductive factor for subglottic laryngitis to develop. However, many factors seem to suggest that the occurrence and symptoms of subglottic laryngitis are primarily caused by the reaction to an infection. The impact of bacteria onto the etiopathogenesis of subglottic laryngitis has been discussed for many years. Some experts are of the opinion that the disease develops on the bacteriologic background.

Atypical bacteria play role in infection of upper respiratory tract in adults. The most often bacteria playing role in these infections are Chlamydophila pneumioniae and Mycoplasma pneumoniae. These bacteria have significant impact in pharyngitis and tonsillitis and less in rhinosinusitis. Atypical bacteria can cause infection of the upper respiratory tract as a single pathogen or one of the pathogens. Mycoplasma pneumoniae most often is s a single causal factor of the disease, when Chlamydophila pneumoniae most often co-exists with infection with other pathogens. Majority of infections of upper respiratory tract in adults caused by atypical bacteria has mild history with insignificant sings and symptoms. Suspicion of the disease can be recurrent history of disease or absence of recovery after standard treatment.

Group A Streptococcus (GAS) is a Gram-positive human pathogen that causes a variety of diseases ranging from pharyngitis to life-threatening streptococcal toxic shock syndrome. Recently, several global gene expression analyses have yielded extensive new information regarding the regulation of genes encoding known and putative virulence factors in GAS. A microarray analysis found that transcription of the GAS gene M5005_Spy_1343 was significantly increased in response to interaction with human polymorphonuclear leukocytes. M5005_Spy_1343 is predicted to encode a member of the LysR family of transcriptional regulators and is located upstream of a putative operon containing six genes. Five of these genes have sequence similarity to genes involved in short-chain fatty acid metabolism, whereas the sixth gene (luxS) is found in many bacterial species and is involved in quorum sensing. Unexpectedly, inactivation of the M5005_Spy_1343 gene resulted in hypervirulence in an intraperitoneal mouse model of infection. Increased virulence was not due to changes in luxS gene expression. We postulate that short-chain fatty acid metabolism is involved in GAS pathogenesis.
