What is an Acute Lower Respiratory Tract Infection?

An Acute Lower Respiratory Tract Infection (ALRTI) is an infection that affects the airways and lungs, including the bronchi and alveoli. It can range from acute bronchitis to pneumonia and is commonly caused by viruses like influenza or RSV, though bacteria can also be responsible. ALRTIs can be severe and require prompt medical attention, especially if breathing is compromised.

Common symptoms include persistent cough (sometimes with mucus), shortness of breath, wheezing, chest tightness, fever, headache and body aches.
The lower airway involvement often makes breathing difficult and can lead to serious complications without timely intervention.
Treatment depends on the cause: viral infections are often managed with supportive care (rest, fluids, symptom relief), while bacterial infections may require antibiotics. Severe cases may also require oxygen therapy or mechanical ventilation.
