title: [The incidence of virus respiratory infections in small children in the season 1994-95].
abstract: As previously, by antibody fluorescent technique the etiology of viral respiratory infections was determinated in small children hospitalized because of respiratory disease in the epidemic season 1994-95. Data obtained were compared with the results from the preceding season. Among a total of 371 patients, virus infection was detected in 170 (45,8%). Data for the whole season did not distinctly differ from those obtained previously; however, some differences were found in the occurrence of the individual virus infections in consecutive months of the epidemic season. The second (spring) wave of RS virus infections in this season was lower and more extended in time than in the previous seasons. Highest incidence of adenoviruses was observed in July 1995. The incidence of parainfluenza type 4 virus was higher in the disease of small children. In the youngest (below 1 month) age group percent of virus infections was higher, as compared with data from the preceding season.
