This CPD collection examines the many and varied types and causes of ALRI (Acute Lower Respiratory Infections) in infant and pre-school aged children. 


The four activities in this collection can be completed as part of a series or as individual learning activities in any order. 

Comprehensive education for Primary Care

On-demand CPD activities

Earn 4 CPD hours: 1 hour EA + 3 hours RP 

Learning outcomes

By the end of this activity, you will be able to: 
  1. Describe the salient features on history and examination of a preschool-aged child presenting with acute cough that facilitates a rational diagnosis and exclusion of common differential diagnoses.
  2. Summarise the pathophysiological and clinical differences between bronchiolitis and croup.
  3. Outline an approach to assessing disease severity in preschool children with bronchiolitis and croup.
  4. Detail an approach to diagnosing viral-associated wheeze, multi-trigger wheeze and asthma in young children.
This on-demand video examines the many and varied types and causes of both acute and chronic cough in pre-school aged children. A framework for synthesising history and examination findings into a rational diagnosis, at the exclusion of recognised differential diagnoses will be discussed. The importance of RSV-associated illnesses bronchiolitis and croup will be explored as common causes of acute cough in children under 5 years of age, while viral associated wheeze, multiple-trigger wheeze and asthma will be explored as common causes of chronic daily cough in young children.

    The educational event aims to reorient practitioners in the community setting to the evolving epidemiology of RSV in Australia. While RSV can lead to children becoming severely unwell and hospitalised, the majority of children will be assessed in the first instance by their GP.

      Earn 6.5 CPD hours: 1.5 hours EA + 3 hours MO + 2 hours RP

      Learning outcomes

      By the end of this activity, you will be able to: 
      1. Describe the changing epidemiology, symptomatic presentations, and severity of RSV in the post-COVID restriction environment in Australia.
      2. Outline an approach to clinical and laboratory diagnosis of RSV in children and the requirements for infectious disease notifications and surveillance.
      3. Understand the pathophysiology of RSV in children, its impacts on at-risk populations, and capacity for long-term sequelae.
      4. List the evidence-based investigations and management of RSV in the community, and contrast that approach to the care given for severe disease in the tertiary setting.
      5. Summarise the emerging treatments and preventive measures for RSV that will become available in the Australian context in the near future
