| Popis: | Introduction I t is often difficult to relate the occurrence of a virus in a patient to an illness. With some we are on firm ground; for example, respiratory syncytial (RS) virus only occurs in the respiratory tract of those with respiratory illness and not in those without (Gardner et al., 1967; Aherne et al., 1970). The same is true for infection with influenza and parainfluenza viruses. O n the other hand, the incidence of some viruses, for example, certain adenoviruses and coxsackieviruses, does not differ significantly in children with acute respiratory illness from the normal population. These facts must be considered when the significance of respiratory viruses associated with infant death is examined. |
