}The present study was undertaken in an attempt to recover new cytopathogenic agents from infants with severe lower respiratory illness (bronchopneumonia, bronchiolitis, and laryngotracheobronchitis) and to assess their etiologic significance in this disease complex. During the course of these investigations, two similar viruses were recovered -which were demonstrated to be indistinguishable from an agent associated with an outbreak of coryza in chimpanzees (CCA virus) studied by Morris, Blount…

There were signiflcant rising antibody levels in many patients who failed to yield virus from throat swabs; this suggests that these, too, were parainfluenza virus infections.

Evidence of the bovine origin of both strains was brought by the sero-conversions displayed by the cattle under study in neutralization and complement fixation tests and by some biological traits of the virus as well.

It was observed that almost all children have been infected by RSV by the age of two years, and epidemiological research carried out since its discovery has designated RSV as the most important causative agent of viral lower respiratory tract disease.

Serologic data suggest that the contribution of these agents to childhood respiratory illnesses may be substantial, and preliminary clinical and epidemiological observations indicated that these agents might be responsible for a proportion of the common acute respiratory illnesses in children.

A virus with the characteristics of the respiratory syncytial virus was isolated from the throat of a 6-month-old infant with pneumonia, indicating that the pneumonia was accompanied by infection with this virus.

A number of human beings, particularly adolescents and young adults, have antibodies in their sera directed against the coryza agent suggesting that these individuals have experienced infection with the new agent or one closely related to it.

The high incidence of infection with this new virus in one group of croup patients suggests that it may be at least one of the etiologic agents of this clinical syndrome, but more extensive control studies will be necessary to establish a specific etuologic association.

It seemed desirable to find other cells in which the virus may be propagated since human kidneys are not readily available and monkey kidney cells, although susceptible, frequently carry a latent agent which may cause lesions similar to those of measles virus.
