A group of viruses containing RNA, which cause infection of the nose and include the virus which causes the common cold.
Any of a group of small ribonucleic acid (RNA) viruses, responsible for almost one half of all respiratory infections, typically characterized by a scratchy throat, headache, runny nose, and other signs of nasal congestion.
A large group of viruses that cause upper respiratory infections.
Any one of a group of RNA containing viruses that cause respiratory infections in man resembling the common cold. They are included in the picornavirus group.
One of hundreds of species of picornaviruses that are responsible for upper respiratory infections (“common cold”) in humans. Rhinoviruses commonly produce runny nose and congestion, postnasal drainage, cough, malaise, and, in some cases, exacerbations of asthma. The symptoms of rhinoviral infection are treatable, through the use of oxymetazoline nasal spray, pseudoephedrine, or inhaled ipratropium bromide.
A viral infection that invades the upper respiratory system and leads to the onset of the common cold.
This refers to a category of viruses that contain RNA and commonly lead to upper respiratory tract infections, most notably the common cold.
