人们认为，热带国家在流感等呼吸道感染的全球行为中起着重要作用。厄瓜多尔的热带国家几乎没有关于急性呼吸道感染的原因的文件。这项研究的目的是鉴定厄瓜多尔中与疾病（ILI）相关的病毒剂，描述该地区流感菌株及其流行病学特征在该地区循环的原因，并对这些菌株进行分子表征。
这是一项基于口咽标本的病毒培养和在4年内从厄瓜多尔两个城市获得的医院获得的ILI原因的前瞻性监视研究。在1,702例ILI病例中，在597例患者中检测到了9种病毒剂。在研究期间，厄瓜多尔循环的七个遗传变异造成了六个时期的活性。与安第斯山脉城市基多（Quito）相比，在热带城市瓜亚基尔（Guayaquil）的伊利（Ili）原因似乎有更多的异质性。
这是迄今为止厄瓜多尔ILI病毒原因最广泛的文件。流感是厄瓜多尔ILI的普遍原因，每年引起多次爆发。没有明确定义的流感季节，尽管在某些时间段内未发现流感与不同变体菌株的流行病交替。
Tropical countries are thought to play an important role in the global behavior of respiratory infections such as influenza. The tropical country of Ecuador has almost no documentation of the causes of acute respiratory infections. The objectives of this study were to identify the viral agents associated with influenza like illness (ILI) in Ecuador, describe what strains of influenza were circulating in the region along with their epidemiologic characteristics, and perform molecular characterization of those strains. This is a prospective surveillance study of the causes of ILI based on viral culture of oropharyngeal specimens and case report forms obtained in hospitals from two cities of Ecuador over 4 years. Out of 1,702 cases of ILI, nine viral agents were detected in 597 patients. During the time of the study, seven genetic variants of influenza circulated in Ecuador, causing six periods of increased activity. There appeared to be more heterogeneity in the cause of ILI in the tropical city of Guayaquil when compared with the Andean city of Quito. This was the most extensive documentation of the viral causes of ILI in Ecuador to date. Influenza was a common cause of ILI in Ecuador, causing more than one outbreak per year. There was no well defined influenza season although there were periods of time when no influenza was detected alternating with epidemics of different variant strains.
