Abstract:
Respiratory infectious disease has become ahead of all the children′s diseases, with the trend of continuously increasing global incidence, antimicrobial resistance and simultaneous infection with multiple pathogens. Diagnosis of this disease is mainly based on clinical symptoms and pathogenic detection. However, there are some differences in clinical manifestations, progression and prognosis between pediatric patients and adults, which prompting clinical diagnosis mainly depending on clinical laboratory test. Therefore, fast, convenient and accurate methods are urgently needed to clarify the type of infectious pathogen and carry out differentiated treatment, and reduce the burden on families and public health-care systems in schools. This article aims to elaborate the laboratory methods of children′s respiratory infectious diseases and explore the opportunities and challenges, which can provide ideas for prevention, early screening and diagnosis, prognosis and treatment monitoring.
