Abstract：
:Retrospective and prospective serological surveys to determine the prevalence of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and adenovirus (ADV) infections in children with respiratory diseases were carried out from 1985 to 1988 at the University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria. 306 sera from subjects between 3 months and 12 years old were assayed by complement fixation test for antibodies to both viruses. Second samples were available from 42 of the subjects for antibody conversion testing. The rate varied with age, period of the year and virus. Overall prevalences of 23.5% and 18.3% were obtained for RSV and ADV respectively. 2.6% of the subjects had antibodies to both viruses. Among 42 paired samples tested, 61.9% and 33.3% showed positive antibody conversion to RSV and ADV respectively. Although there was evidence of active circulation of both viruses throughout the year, infection with RSV was higher from September to January, while ADV infection was significantly higher during February and March. Antibody prevalence to both viruses increased with age up to a peak of 39.1% for RSV in children 5-6 years old and 32% for ADV in children 3-4 years old. None of the subjects aged 10 years and above was positive for both viruses. Both RSV and ADV are important agents of acute respiratory infection in children in Nigeria.
