    • Emphasis on clinical evaluation, basic laboratory tests, and imaging.
    • Criteria for referral to specialized pediatric pulmonary centers.

    Main Results:

    • A detailed history, physical examination, and chest roentgenogram provide initial diagnostic clues.
    • Accessible laboratory tests include hemoglobin, white blood cell count, sputum/throat cultures, and pulmonary function tests.
    • Complex or severe cases necessitate referral to pediatric pulmonary centers.

    Conclusions:

    • Initial diagnostic steps for RRTIs are straightforward and informative.
    • Prompt referral to specialized centers ensures comprehensive evaluation and treatment for complicated cases.
