Rhinovirus

Active

Description

Human rhinoviruses (HRVs) can be categorized into three genetically distinct HRV groups, designated groups A, B, and C, within the genus Enterovirus and the family Picornaviridae. HRVs are positive-sense, single-stranded-RNA (ssRNA) viruses of approximately 7,200 bp. HRVs, which are the cause of more than one-half of cold like illnesses, are commonly associated with upper respiratory tract infection, otitis media, and sinusitis. PCR testing for respiratory virus detection has led to the recognition of HRV as a lower respiratory tract pathogen as well, especially in patients with asthma, infants, elderly patients, and immunocompromised individuals. At this time there are no approved antiviral therapies, and treatment is primarily supportive. Source: Regenstrief LOINC, PMCID: PMC3553670
