respiratory tract infections. The aim of the study: was to assess the compliance of rural mothers 
with preventive behaviors of respiratory tract infection to their children. Subjects and methods: A

rural village – Tanta center - El Gharbia Governorate. Subjects: A convenience sample of 300 of 
rural mothers who are attending to the previous setting were included in the study. Tool of the

recommendations: more than one-third of rural mothers had low level of knowledge, about onethird of them had moderate level of knowledge, and only one-quarter of them had high level of 
knowledge about RTIs. Furthermore, more than one-third of the studied rural mothers had moderate

increase their knowledge and compliance with preventive behaviors regarding respiratory tract
