Abstract
Two recently discovered viruses of the myxovirus family termed hemadsorption Types 1 and 2 have been studied as causes of respiratory diseases in children under ten years old.1 , 2‡ One or the other has been isolated from 6.2 per cent of 1654 children hospitalized with respiratory infections in Washington, D. C., and rises in complement-fixation titer to these viruses have been found in 26.8 per cent of a sample of this population. Of 1381 patients without respiratory illness in the same environment hemadsorption viruses were isolated from 0.36 per cent, and 7.3 per cent had rises in complement-fixation titer. The association . . .Keywords
