Abstract
Paired sera from 101 Malaysian children aged up to 10 yr with respiratory illnesses were examined serologically for evidence of respiratory viral infections. Of these children, 32.6% showed rising antibody titers for 1 or more of the test agents. Respiratory syncytial virus appeared to be the main respiratory pathogen involved, followed by Mycoplasma pneumoniae, parainfluenza viruses, adenoviruses and influenza A virus. These findings are generally similar to those reported by others in temperate and tropical countries.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
