    Study Notes

    • The respiratory tract is a major portal of entry for infectious organisms and is the most commonly infected system.
    • Respiratory illnesses account for one-third of the most common causes of death among Americans.
    • Oral health is connected with respiratory health, as pathogens in the mouth can serve as risk factors for developing a respiratory disease.
    • Upper respiratory tract infections are easy to treat, while lower respiratory tract infections are serious and difficult to treat.
    • Bacterial pathogens of the upper respiratory tract include Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Haemophilus influenzae.
    • Viral pathogens of the upper respiratory tract include Rhinovirus, Myxovirus, Adenovirus, Enterovirus, and Measles virus.
    • Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is a leading cause of respiratory illness in infants and young children and can cause lower respiratory tract infections.
    • Bacterial pathogens of the lungs include Hemophilus influenzae, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
    • Viral pathogens of the lungs include Parainfluenzavirus, Adenovirus, and Influenza.
    • Coronaviruses, including SARS, MERS, and COVID-19, are newly recognized causes of viral infections of the lower respiratory tract.
    1. COVID-19 causes an exaggerated and prolonged immune response, including a cytokine storm and recruitment of immune cells.
    2. Disease severity is indicated by high levels of IL-6 and a high neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio.
    3. COVID-19 can progress through three stages, with the third stage involving respiratory and multi-organ failure.
    4. COVID-19 can affect multiple organs, including the heart, kidneys, and brain.
    5. Children can develop a Kawasaki-like disease associated with COVID-19.
    6. SARS-CoV-2 has multiple variants of concern with mutations in the spike protein.
    7. The variants of concern may be more transmissible and cause more severe disease.
    8. Various drugs and vaccines are being used to treat COVID-19.
    9. Dentists should consult with patients' physicians and consider their medical history when performing procedures.
