Viral Respiratory Infections in the Institutionalized Elderly: Clinical and Epidemiologic Findings	2015-04-27		.txt	text/plain	3461	220	52	Serologic evidence of infection with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and parainfluenza were determined by enzyme immunoassay (EIA), and influenza by hemagglutination‐inhibition assay and EIA. This is despite the fact that each year many residents of nursing homes become ill with respiratory infections not proven to be influenza, either by culture or serology. The purpose of this study was to identify all common respiratory viruses which cause symptomatic dsease during the winter months in nursing home patients, by utilizing both viral cultures and serology, and to assess their clinical impact. Subjects Between December 11, 1989 and March 13, 1990 , the head nurse on each floor identified residents who had signs or symptoms of acute respiratory illness including nasal congestion, pharyngitis, cough, wheezing, or respiratory difficulty with or without fever. The groups of viruses responsible for most acute respiratory infections are rhinovirus, coronavirus, influenza, RSV, parainfluenza, and adeno~irus.~ An attempt was made to diagnose each of these pathogens, with the exception of coronavirus, utilizing either culture, serology, or both.	./cache/cord-009860-qebenhxz.txt	./txt/cord-009860-qebenhxz.txt
