The temporal incidence of respiratory viruses identified in children admitted to an Edinburgh hospital over a period of 14 years, 1972-1985, is described, Respiratory syncytial (RS) virus was identified most often, usually (but not in 1979 and 1985) with single peaks of activity in the winter months. Influenza virus infections were seen in the winter and spring but we failed to find evidence of interference between RS and influenza virus. Of the viruses studied, the parainfluenza viruses were the least predictable in their epidemiological behaviour. The results of this study are compared with those of others and the role of certain aspects of the weather is considered.
本文描述了1972年至1985年期间，在爱丁堡一家医院住院的儿童中所发现的呼吸道病毒的时间发病率。呼吸道合胞（RS）病毒最为常见，通常（但1979年和1985年除外）在冬季出现单峰活动。流感病毒感染出现在冬季和春季，但我们未发现RS病毒和流感病毒之间存在干扰的证据。在所研究的病毒中，副流感病毒在流行病学行为方面最不可预测。本研究结果与其他研究结果进行了比较，并考虑了天气某些方面的作用。
