Upper Respiratory Tract Infection

Antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD) is a common adverse effect in pediatric patients receiving broad-spectrum antibiotics such as co-amoxiclav for upper respiratory tract infections (URTI). This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the probiotic Saccharomyces boulardii in preventing antibiotic-associated diarrhea among children aged 6 months to 5 years receiving co-amoxiclav. Participants will be randomly allocated to receive either standard co-amoxiclav therapy alone or co-amoxiclav combined with Saccharomyces boulardii for 5 days. The primary objective is to evaluate whether the addition of Saccharomyces boulardii reduces the incidence of diarrhea during and up to 14 days following antibiotic therapy.

This prospective, multicenter, observational post-market clinical follow-up study evaluates the performance and safety of SIROPSEDAL in children and adults with acute cough treated in routine clinical practice. Patients prescribed SIROPSEDAL independently of study participation will be followed for 7 +/- 1 days using patient-reported outcomes including a cough visual analog scale and the Cough Symptom Score.

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a leading cause of acute lower respiratory tract infection in infants and young children and contributes substantially to pediatric emergency department (ED) visits and hospitalizations. In Türkiye, nationally representative prospective data describing the epidemiology, clinical spectrum, and resource utilization of RSV-positive children presenting to pediatric EDs remain limited. This multicenter prospective observational study aims to characterize demographic and clinical features of RSV-positive children under 5 years of age presenting to participating pediatric EDs across two consecutive RSV seasons, and to quantify key healthcare utilization outcomes, including ED observation duration, hospitalization, and intensive care unit (ICU) admission.

Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, clinical trial to assess the efficacy of the intake of a probiotic product composed of Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus CRL1505 strain in reducing or preventing upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs) in a healthy paediatric population.
