BACKGROUND
Upper respiratory tract infection( URI) is a nonspecific term used to describe the common cold is an acute, communicable, viral infections involving the nose, nasal stuffiness, sneezing, coryza, throat irritation, paranasal sinuses, pharynx, larynx, trachea, and bronchi. The prototype is the illness known as the common cold, which is discussed here, in addition to pharyngitis, sinusitis, and tracheobronchitis. Influenza is a systemic illness that involves the upper respiratory tract and should be differentiated from other URIs. Most URIs occur more frequently during the cold winter months, because of overcrowding. Transmission of organisms causing URIs occurs by aerosol, droplet, or direct hand-to-hand contact with infected secretions, with subsequent passage to the nares or eyes. 8 Thus, transmission occurs more commonly in crowded conditions. Direct invasion of the respiratory epithelium results in symptoms corresponding to the area( s) involved.
OBJECTIVE
This poster aims are to engage the community’ s interest about upper respiratory tract infection( URI), provide easy ways for people to get information about Upper Respiratory Infection( URI), reveal issues, and raise awareness of URI in a way that is visual, inclusive and fun. This poster provide a visual display of an opportunity to prevent upper respiratory tract infection in general public with the easiest way. We use photo of people use mask because using mask is the easiest way to prevent upper respiratory tract infection( URI) such as sinusitis, influenza, rhinitis, colds, pneumonia, inflammation, and otitis media. The viruses and bacteria that cause respiratory tract infections( RTIs) can spread from person to person. When someone with the infection coughs, sneezes, laughs or talks, the infection-carrying droplets become airborne and may infect others. So that’ s why we suggest to use mask to prevent the viruses and bacteria spread. This will stop any infected droplets being transferred to a surface that others may potentially infecting them.
