Upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) occurs commonly in both children and adults and is a major cause of mild morbidity. It has a high cost to society, being responsible for absenteeism from school and work and unnecessary medical care, and is occasionally associated with serious sequelae. URTIs are usually caused by several families of virus; these are the rhinovirus, coronavirus, parainfluenza, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), adenovirus, human metapneumovirus, influenza, enterovirus and the recently discovered bocavirus. This review will mainly focus on the rhinovirus, where significant advances have been made in understanding the epidemiology, natural history and relationship with other pathogens.

“…Saline solution has no side effects, it can be used as a spray, it is colorless and odorless, cell-friendly, non-chemical, and considered as one of the most effective and safest treatments to clean infected biological surfaces [16,17]. As the TP's physical properties were close to those of the saline solution (with the exception of higher osmotic properties), the investigators proposed saline as CP.…”
