Acute respiratory infections (ARI) are leading among children's infectious diseases; they may be caused by different viruses belonging to at least 6 families (Orthomyxo-, Paramyxo-, Picorna-, Adeno-, Corona-, Herpes-viridae), while the flu virus is not the dominating one, causing disease only during the epidemic outbreak of influenza. [1] The bacterial flora (S.Pneumonia, H. influenzae, Mycoplasma pneumonia, Klebsiella pneumoniae, etc.) participates in the process as well, both alone and in combination with viruses.
