在北卡罗来纳州教堂山，对儿科团体实践中看到的儿童急性下呼吸道疾病的全面监测保持了67个月。与这些疾病相关的常见病原体是呼吸道合胞病毒、副流感病毒1型和3型以及肺炎支原体。在感染的临床表现、季节性发生、年龄和性别分布方面观察到了一致的模式；这些为临床医生提供了指南，使他们能够合理地估计病因诊断。这些研究对于了解疾病的发病机制和开发最佳的预防方法具有重要的意义。
Comprehensive surveillance of acute lower respiratory illnesses of children seen in apediatric group practice was maintained for 67 months in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The common pathogenic agents associated with these illnesses were respiratory syncytial virus, parainfluenza virus types 1 and 3, andMycoplasma pneumoniae. Consistent patterns have been observed in the clinical manifestations, seasonal occurrence, and age and sex distribution of infections; these provide guidelines for clinicians, which allow reasonable estimates of the etiologic diagnoses. These studies have important implications for the understanding of disease pathogenesis and for the development of optimal methods of prophylaxis.
