Abstract:
Human Rhinovirus (HRV) is one of the most frequent cause of the human respiratory tract infection.HRV is traditionally associated with the benign common cold and it has now been demonstrated as a respiratory pathogen in lower respiratory tract diseases,such as pneumonia,children's wheezy disease,asthma exacerbation and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) etc.Since the first HRV was discovered in 1956,now more than 150 serotypes were confirmed.HRV is considered the most common cause of upper respiratory tract infection.Nearly years-round advances in molecular methods have enhanced our understanding of the genomic structure of HRV,especially the newly discovered HRV-C,and it has been found that HRV is closely related to human acute lower respiratory infections.
