Viral respiratory tract infections are very important health problems throughout
the world and are associated with significant morbidity and mortality; the
burden of disease caused by these complications is considerable. Although
many bacteria and fungi may cause respiratory tract infections, it is known
that viral respiratory tract infections have greater role in causing disease as
they are more commonly observed. In recent years, many viruses causing
respiratory tract infections have been discovered. In this review, wefocus on
several of these newly identified pathogens for which there are clinical data
implicating a role of these viruses in respiratory tract disease, specifically
human metapneumovirus, human coronaviruses (NL63 and HKU1), the human
bocavirus, adenovirus (AD14), avian influenza virus, and swine influenza
virus and Hendra and Nipah viruses.
