Acute means severe and/or sudden onset. The acronym "URI" stands for Upper Respiratory Infection.
Acute viral rhinopharyngitis, commonly known as the common cold, is an upper respiratory infection primarily caused by viruses, particularly rhinoviruses. It is characterized by symptoms such as a runny or stuffy nose, sore throat, cough, sneezing, and mild fever. The condition is typically self-limiting, lasting about a week or two, and is usually managed with symptomatic treatments. It is highly contagious and spreads through respiratory droplets or direct contact with contaminated surfaces.
In the ICD-9-CM BOOK this is how you find it. Infection -Respiratory -Upper -NEC 465.9 Tab. List. Acute upper respiratory infections of multiple or unspecified sites -Unspecified site.
Yes Cholangitis is an acute infection of the bile duct characterized by pain in the upper right quadrant of the abdomen, fever, and jaundice.
It would depend on where in the respiratory system the infection was, but coughing, especially a productive cough, is a major hallmark of lower respiratory infections. Chest pain is possible, but not guaranteed; same with fever. For an upper respiratory infection, I would expect a runny nose or nasal/sinus congestion.
