Author ProfileAbstract
As we know life expectancy in CP can improve by both preventive
measurements as initiation of early therapy concerning respiratory
morbidity. The prevalence of PA in this prospective study of children
with CP is low, gram-negative bacteria were most commonly found.
Therefore, it is recommended to repeat and expand this study since the
prevalence of respiratory tract infections is again increasing in the
post-covid era.
