Abstract:

Increased respiratory rate depends to some extent on the body temperature in children infected with HIV because of high temperatures, such as pneumonia and other. That is assumed that the low temperature in these children may help in differentiating between children with pneumonia as others. Included the current study on 52 children aged between two months and sixty months suffering from high in more than 38 ° C temperature with an increase in respiratory rate has been divided into four groups: Group I: age (less than one year), the second group: age (over than one year) and children of these two groups is infected with pneumonia disease. Group III: for children age (less than one year). Group D: age (over a year) and these two groups of children with pneumonia. It was measured body temperature of anal and spirometry and child mortality calm in addition to measuring the ratio of oxygen saturation of the blood through the skin. These measurements were recorded before and after an hour of taking a single dose of heat sink (acetaminophen 15 mg / km). An analysis of the results was noted that cough and itchy nose and affinity between the ribs symptoms were statistically significant in children with pneumonia especially in children less than a year. Also found that the decrease in temperature in all groups after eating reducer was not statistically significant. Shortages have occurred in the percentage of oxygen saturation in the blood (read Alaoxmitr less device or equal to 90%) in the third group (88%), and the fourth group (90.2%), while the first group device reading recorded higher (90%) where it was 91.5 % The second group (91.3%). Here and in spite of a shortage of the average breathing rate in all groups was the difference between the respiratory rate before and after the heat sink in the first set and the second with a high statistical significance, while in the third and fourth group is not statistically significant. By studying the relationship between the low temperature and the decrease in respiratory rate was found that the incidence of non-pneumonia disease occurred in a significant decrease in temperature, followed by a lack of respiratory rate, while this relationship is less clear in cases of pneumonia which indicates that the decrease in respiratory rate in cases other diseases was due to lower temperature, while in cases of pneumonia, there was an additional reason for the high rate of respiration, a lung functions compatible with the condition.
