Respiratory tract infections (RTIs) encompass a broad range of infections affecting the respiratory system, including the upper and lower respiratory tracts. These infections are commonly caused by viruses, bacteria, or other pathogens and can manifest as colds, flu, bronchitis, pneumonia, or more severe respiratory illnesses. RTIs typically spread through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Common symptoms include cough, congestion, sore throat, runny nose, and difficulty breathing. Viral RTIs, such as influenza and the common cold, are often self-limiting and can be managed with supportive care. Bacterial RTIs, like pneumonia, may require antibiotic treatment. Preventive measures for RTIs include vaccination, good hygiene practices like handwashing, avoiding close contact with sick individuals, and promoting overall respiratory health. RTIs pose a significant global health burden, contributing to morbidity and mortality, particularly in vulnerable populations. Ongoing research focuses on understanding the pathogens involved, developing effective treatments, and improving preventive strategies to reduce the impact of respiratory tract infections worldwide.
