Ignoring these acute\u2010level infections may lead to complications. Particularly in Pakistan, respiratory infections account for 20% to 30% of all deaths of children. Even though these infections are common, insufficiency of accessible data hinders development of a comprehensive summary of the problem. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence rate in various regions of Pakistan and also to recognize the existing viral strains responsible for viral respiratory infections through published data. Respiratory viruses are detected more frequently among rural dwellers in Pakistan. Lower tract infections are found to be more lethal. The associated pathogens comprise respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), human metapneumovirus (HMPV), coronavirus, enterovirus\/rhinovirus, influenza virus, parainfluenza virus, adenovirus, and human bocavirus. RSV is more dominant and can be subtyped as RSV\u2010A and RSV\u2010B (BA\u20109, BA\u201010, and BA\u201013). Influenza A (H1N1, H5N1, H3N2, and H1N1pdm09) and Influenza B are common among the Pakistani population. Generally, these strains are detected in a seasonal pattern with a high incidence during spring and winter time. The data presented include pneumonia, bronchiolitis, and influenza. This paper aims to emphasise the need for standard methods to record the incidence and etiology of associated pathogens in order to provide effective treatment against viral infections of the respiratory tract and to reduce death rates.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/rmv.2024","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,12,13]],"date-time":"2018-12-13T04:33:57Z","timestamp":1544675637000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["Etiology of acute viral respiratory infections common in Pakistan: A review"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"29","author":[{"given":"Riffat","family":"Naz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Bioinformatics and Biotechnology International Islamic University  Islamabad Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Asma","family":"Gul","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Bioinformatics and Biotechnology International Islamic University  Islamabad Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Urooj","family":"Javed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Bioinformatics and Biotechnology International Islamic University  Islamabad Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alina","family":"Urooj","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Bioinformatics and Biotechnology International Islamic University  Islamabad Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sidra","family":"Amin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Bioinformatics and Biotechnology International Islamic University  Islamabad Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7516-6801","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zareen","family":"Fatima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Bioinformatics and Biotechnology International Islamic University  Islamabad Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,12,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","series-title":"Chapter 25","volume-title":"Disease Control Priorities in Developing Countries","author":"Simoes EAF","year":"2006"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.328.7443.811"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_1","unstructured":"UNICEF.The state of the world's children 2017 statistical tables.https:\/\/data.unicef.org\/wp\u2010content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/SOWC\u20102017\u2010statistical\u2010tables.pdf.
