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.
