Özet
Upper respiratory infections are prevalent in the childhood period. Upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs) include nasopharyngitis (common cold), pharyngitis, rhinosinusitis, laryngitis, and laryngotracheitis [1]. Viruses are responsible for the vast majority of URTIs [2]. A myriad of virus species and subspecies may cause URTIs [3]. Influenza virus, adenovirus, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and rhinovirus are the leading causative agents [2]. The course of the URTIs is mostly benign.
