Definition from National Center for Biotechnology Info:
Respiratory tract infection (RTI) is defined as any infectious disease of the upper or lower respiratory tract. Upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs) include the common cold, laryngitis, pharyngitis/tonsillitis, acute rhinitis, acute rhinosinusitis and acute otitis media. Lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) include acute bronchitis, bronchiolitis, pneumonia and tracheitis.

Example sentence(s):
  • QU’EST-CE QUE LES INFECTIONS DES VOIES RESPIRATOIRES ? Un refroidissement est un désagrément saisonnier qui s’en va en quelques jours, disait-on autrefois. Beaucoup en font aujourd'hui une expérience très différente et racontent plutôt ainsi l'histoire du refroidissement : dès que les chauffages sont rallumés, les premiers signes d‘enrouement se manifestent. Et c’est le début d’une série de refroidissements à répétition, qui se prolongent pendant la saison froide et aboutissent parfois à une surinfection bactérienne - Bronchovaxom  
  • Définition. Ainsi, une infection est dite « respiratoire » lorsqu'elle atteint l'une des structures composant le système respiratoire, à savoir le nez, les oreilles, la gorge, le larynx, la trachée, les bronches ou les poumons. Parmi l'ensemble des infections respiratoires aiguës, la pneumonie est la plus meurtrière. - Santé sur le net
