社区呼吸道病毒长期以来被认为是婴幼儿的主要呼吸道病原体。最近，已经清楚的是，这些病毒在整个生命中造成相当大的疾病负担。反复感染的后果在老年人和免疫功能低下的人中最为明显。即使在其他健康的人，再感染往往需要医疗照顾，但通常是未诊断和未识别的。这些再感染可能从健康人传播到高危人群。控制需要采取多方面的方法，将疫苗接种、化学预防和对高危人群的积极早期抗病毒治疗以及对受这些病毒影响的所有人群的教育结合起来。(C)2003年美国癌症协会。
Community respiratory viruses long have been recognized as primary respiratory pathogens among infants and young children. More recently, it has become clear that these viruses cause a considerable disease burden throughout life. The consequences of repeated infections are most evident in elderly and immunocompromised persons. Even in otherwise healthy persons, reintections often require medical attention but generally are undiagnosed and unrecognized. These reinfections may spread from healthy persons to those at highest risk. Control requires a multifaceted approach combining vaccination, chemoprophylaxis, and aggressive early antiviral treatment of high-risk individuals, as well as education of all populations affected by these viruses.
