[1] Pneumonia can be caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites. [1] Viruses are the most common cause of pneumonia in children, while in adults bacteria are a more common cause. [2]
A representation of the molecular surface of one variant of human rhinovirus: Specialty: Infectious disease: Symptoms: Cough, sore throat, runny nose, fever [3] [4] Complications: Usually none, but occasionally otitis media, sinusitis, pneumonia and sepsis can occur [5] Usual onset ~2 days from exposure [6] Duration: 1–3 weeks [3] [7] Causes ...
Rhinovirus A and B use "major" ICAM-1 (Inter-Cellular Adhesion Molecule 1), also known as CD54 (Cluster of Differentiation 54), on respiratory epithelial cells, as receptors to bind to. Some subgroups under A and B uses the "minor" LDL receptor instead. [18] Rhinovirus C uses cadherin-related family member 3 (CDHR3) to mediate cellular entry. [19]
So were influenza-like illnesses like rhinoviruses, respiratory adenoviruses, and other common coronaviruses, to name a few. Certain bacterial infections, like mycoplasma pneumonia and group A ...
Human bocavirus and Human metapneumovirus occur year-round, rhinoviruses (which cause the common cold) occur mostly in the spring and fall, and human parainfluenza viruses have variable peaks depending on the specific strain. Enteroviruses, with the exception of rhinoviruses, tend to peak in the summer. [29]
[13] [15] Pneumonia is also the leading cause of death in children less than five years of age in low income countries. [15] The most common cause of pneumonia is pneumococcal bacteria, Streptococcus pneumoniae accounts for 2/3 of bacteremic pneumonias. [16] Invasive pneumococcal pneumonia has a mortality rate of around 20%. [14]
Or maybe they started with a cold, but then they developed pneumonia. Someone who has worsening cough, persistent high fevers and other concerning symptoms like chest pain, abdominal pain and ...
Symptoms of rhinovirus in children usually begin 1–3 days after exposure. The illness usually lasts 7–10 more days. [6] Color or consistency changes in mucous discharge to yellow, thick, or green are the natural course of viral URTI and not an indication for antibiotics. [6]
