Concurrent and sequential outbreaks of infection with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and influenza A virus were studied, utilizing a local surveillance system for infectious diseases that involved weekly reports from primary care physicians. The patterns of illness in the community and in hospital admissions were relatively specific for these two viruses, and differed according to whether RSV and influenza A virus occurred together or separately. This surveillance system appeared to be a practical and accurate indicator of the activity of RSV and influenza A virus in the community. Such a system may serve as a valuable means of relatively early detection of the local arrival of these viruses, and recognition of these illness patterns might aid the physician in diagnosis.
利用一个涉及基层医疗医生每周报告的当地传染病监测系统，对呼吸道合胞病毒（RSV）和甲型流感病毒的同时并发及相继爆发的感染情况进行了研究。这两种病毒在社区和住院病例中的发病模式相对具有特异性，且根据RSV和甲型流感病毒是同时出现还是分别出现而有所不同。该监测系统似乎是社区中RSV和甲型流感病毒活动的一个实用且准确的指标。这样一个系统可作为相对早期发现这些病毒在当地出现的宝贵手段，而识别这些发病模式可能有助于医生进行诊断。
