• Abstract:

  Respiratory syndromes in children are recurrent pathologies that affect the respiratory system and can be associated with several factors. In this sense, we intend to address the main pathogenesis of respiratory syndromes in children in the Brazilian context, adopting an epidemiological approach. Understanding the pathogenicity of respiratory syndromes favors the formulation of public policies that aim to reduce the impacts of these diseases on the pediatric population. The importance of environmental interventions and the provision of comprehensive child health care is highlighted with the aim of reversing respiratory syndromic conditions.
