Respiratory problems are the most commonly reported illness in children under the age of 5 years and are the leading cause of mortality in developed countries, with about 25-75% of children under 5 years old. Therefore, we decided that due to the importance of the issue and the high prevalence of hospitalization of children with respiratory problems and the lack of similar study in the region, this study examined the clinical signs and paraclinical information of pediatric patients referring to respiratory infections in Orumiyeh Shahid Motahari Hospital in Urmia Letchr('39')s examine.

The number of patients under study was based on the findings of 403 patients and the records of the patients were evaluated for clinical signs and paraclinical information. Data were analyzed using SPSS 20 software.
