title: Epidemiological, viral and serological studies concerning the evolution of some acute respiratory diseases between November 1992 and March 1993 in nine districts of the south-east area of Romania.
abstract: Viral and serological studies led to the conclusion that parainfluenza type 3 and influenza type A(H3N2) viruses were the most implicated in the etiology of acute respiratory diseases (ARD), viral pneumonia and clinical influenza in nine districts of the south-east area of Romania during the November 1992--March 1993 period. Epidemiological survey pointed on the 0-1 year group of age as the most affected by the above mentioned respiratory diseases.
