respiratory infection
Airway illness, contagious
A respiratory infection is an illness caused by pathogens in the airways or lungs.
Upper respiratory infections affect the nose, sinuses, and throat—the common cold is the most familiar example.
Lower respiratory infections like pneumonia and bronchitis reach deeper into the lungs and tend to be more serious.
Most are viral, though bacterial respiratory infections may require antibiotics.
