病毒性呼吸道感染是婴儿和儿童疾病的常见原因。对利雅得费萨尔国王专科医院和研究中心在3年期间（1993年8月至1996年7月）提交诊断的临床标本进行的检查显示，与分离出的5种呼吸道病毒有关的疾病谱很广。疾病的严重程度从轻度上呼吸道疾病到威胁性下呼吸道疾病，包括细支气管炎和肺炎。其中呼吸道合胞病毒73株（28.5%），腺病毒70株（27.3%），流感病毒61株（23.8%），肠道病毒39株（15.2%），副流感病毒13株（2.3%）。在急诊或儿科病房的儿童中发现病毒的频率高于门诊患者。RSV出现在11月，季节性高峰出现在1月和2月。流感活动在9月开始，在11月和12月达到高峰。I型副流感在冬季出现，III型副流感在流感流行后出现，可能在夏季偶尔发现。其他病毒（肠道病毒、腺病毒）全年分离。
Viral respiratory infections are common causes of illness in infants and children. Examination of clinical specimens submitted for diagnosis during a 3-year period (August 1993-July 1996) at King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center (KFSH & RC) in Riyadh revealed a wide spectrum of diseases associated with the isolation of five respiratory viruses. Severity of disease ranged from mild upper respiratory illness to threatening lower respiratory illnesses including bronchiolitis and pneumonia. Of the 256 isolates, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) accounted for 73 (28.5%), adenoviruses for 70 (27.3%), influenza viruses for 61 (23.8%), enteroviruses for 39 (15.2%) and para-influenza for 13 (2.3%). Viruses were found more frequently in children attending emergency or paediatric wards than in outpatients. RSV appears in November and the seasonal peak occurs during January and February. Influenza activity begins in September and peaks in November and December. Para-influenza type I emerges in winter and para-influenza type III follows the influenza epidemic and may be detected sporadically in summer. The other viruses (enteroviruses, adenoviruses) were isolated throughout the year.
